Answer:

The correct answer is A. Sexual reproduction produces a greater variation in offspring.

Explanation:

  • B is wrong because in sexual reproduction there are two organisms involved who combine their DNA, therefore resulting in non-identical offsprings.
  • C is wrong because sexual reproduction requires the two organisms involved to exchange DNA's whereas asexual reproduction involves only one organism which only copies it's own DNA for reproduction.
  • D is wrong because there are no risks as genetic defects and no need to seek a mate or it is easier than sexual reproduction which results in lower risks for the parents in asexual reproduction.
  • E is wrong because asexual production is a more efficient procedure and results in a faster growing population because there is no need to search a mate.
  • The answer is A because in sexual reproduction, two different DNA's from both parents get combined resulting in more variation in offspring. In asexual reproduction, there is only one set of DNA which does not allow the gene's to mix, causing a less diverse offspring.

How much of the earths surface do desserts cover and where do they occur? What are the four major types of dessert?​
dem82 [27]

The deserts are actually one of the most common and widespread landscapes on the planet Earth. The deserts, combined of all types, are covering around 33% of the landmass, thus one third of the whole landmass on the planet.

These multiple types of deserts, like the hot and dry desert type, cold desert, coastal desert, semiarid desert. All of them have their own unique characteristics that define them more specifically. The hot and dry deserts are the ones that are hot throughout all of the year, also being located deeper into the mainland. The cold deserts are found in the Northern Hemisphere, they have hot summers and very cold winters. The coastal deserts are located along the coasts, so despite being very dry, they do tend to have high humidity. The semiarid deserts are deserts that are not as dry as the other types, they receive more rainfall, though that happens just in few days of the year, so they are dry for the most of it again, with the biggest difference being that they have slightly more vegetation.

tangare [24]

The answer is d. mitosis.

The cells in the meristematic region of the root are embryonic cells. Thus, these undifferentiated cells have the capacity to undergo continuous mitotic divisions and divide into new cells. The meristematic region of the root contains meristem cells for the root growth.

When glucose is high, camp is _____ : cap _____ bind the lac operator, and rna polymerase _____ bind the lac promoter. high; doe
mote1985 [20]
When glucose is high, cAMP is low; CAP does not bind the lac operator, and RNA polymerase does not bind the lac promoter. CAP is only active when glucose levels are low, which means the cAMP levels are high, and therefore the lac operon can only be transcribed at high rate when glucose is absent.  The importance of this is that the bacteria only turns on the lac operon and start using lactose only after they have used up all the preferred energy source which is glucose.
