Answer:

To develop more favourable traits in offspring for survival.

I'm no bio expert but from my understanding, it's better to reproduce sexually to broaden the gene pool and allow for the offspring to develop better traits for survival.

for example if the parent is susceptible to a certain disease then asexual will cause the offspring to also be susceptible. however, through sexual reproduction with a parent who is immune, the offspring could be immune as well.

Hope that helps

which one of the plants pictured below was given water mixed with salt, and which one was given pure water? Explain how you know
ludmilkaskok [199]

The plant on the right must have been the one given a saltwater mixture while the one on the left must have been given pure water.

<h3>Osmosis</h3>

Looking at the attached image closely, one would see that the plant on the right has withered leaves while the leaves of the plant on the left seem to be flourishing.

The plant on the right must have been the one fed with water mixed with salt and here is the reason. Adding water mixed with salt to the soil on which the plant grows will decrease the water potential of the soil relative to the water potential of the plant's root. Thus, water will move from the plant into the soil through the root by osmosis. This will cause the various cells of the plant to become flaccid, and hence, the withered leaves.

On the contrary, the plant on the left must have been fed with pure water. Feeding the soil with pure water will increase the water potential of the soil relative to the water potential of the plant's root. Thus, water will move from the soil into the plant through the root by osmosis. This will cause the various cells of the plant to become turgid, and hence, the flourishing leaves.

kykrilka [37]
Cancer is an abnormal and uncontrolled multiplication of cells.  
<span>Cancer also involves abnormal cell growth with the potential to spread to other parts of the body via blood and to form metastasis. Cancer cells avoid apoptosis (programmed cell death), have the limitless number of cell divisions and promote blood vessel construction. There are more than 100 types of cancers that affect humans with different signs and symptoms and with many different causes. </span>

Which of the following statements is a correct explanation for the observation that all offspring exhibit a phenotype for a part
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

D) Neither of the parental genes is dominate over the other.

Explanation:

<em>Since the trait on the offspring is a mixture from both parent, it means that neither of the alleles from both parents is completely dominant over the other. Instead, each of the alleles contributes equally to the trait of the offspring.</em>

This effectively explains the fact that each trait exhibited by offspring is a blend of the traits from the two parents.

The correct option is D.
