The correct term to fill in the blank would be peripheral. The two major divisions of the nervous system are the central and the peripheral nervous systems. The central nervous system consists of the spinal cord and the brain. The peripheral nervous system is made up of nerves and small amount of gray matter known as the ganglia. The nervous system is a very important part of the body as it is responsible of connecting all of the organs and the parts to the brain. It is responsible for carrying messages to the brain and out from the brain to the other parts of the body.
Genetic variation occurs.
Mutations are not copied over and over again.
The correct answer is: B. In sexual reproduction, individuals transmit half of their nuclear genes to each of their offspring.
The main difference between sexual and asexual reproduction is that in sexual reproduction genetic material from two parents is combined, while in asexual reproduction produced offspring is genetically identical to the one parent. So, advantage of sexual reproduction is that produced unique organisms contribute to genetic diversity (variation is formed). But, comparing to asexual reproduction, sexual reproduction requires more energy and lasts longer.
Asexual reproduction is found in lower organisms and can be in different forms: budding, vegetative reproduction, fragmentation, spore formation.
