How is cross-fertilization advantageous over asexual reproduction?

1 answer:

7 0

Cross-fertilization is the binding of female and male gametes or the sex cells from two different individuals given they are of the same species. On the other hand, asexual reproduction involves the formation of offspring only from a single individual where a cell only makes a copy of itself. It is advantageous since it would introduce diversity to a species which would help it to be more resistant to any factors that could damage it like diseases. <span />

Nuclei with a higher than desired neutron-to-proton ratios tend to undergo which type of decay?

alexira [117]

Hey there!

Nuclei with a high neutron-to-proton ratio usually undergo a beta emission.

Beta emissions, unlike some other types, is radioactive decay throughout these particles, and can have half lives like other types of exponential (usually) decay. Neutrino, along with <em>beta rays,</em> are coming from, or emitted from the nucleus - hence the name.

Hope this helps!
