A desert plant called Kalanchoe can reproduce, either with sexual reproduction through flowers, or asexually by budding off mini

ature leaf and root clusters from its leaves. When buds are produced, they land on the ground, take root, and grow, genetically identical to the original. If budding is used for several years, a large area may be covered with these descendents from the same original plant. The resulting population of plants will________.

Answer:

The correct answer will be- will be called "Clones" with no genetic variation thus result in less adaptability to environment.

Explanation:

Plants can reproduce by both modes of reproduction called asexual and sexual reproduction.   The asexual mode of reproduction produces genetically similar offsprings in less period of time and thus helps in spreading of the species in minimum time as in the case of Kalanchoe.

The Kalanchoe can dominate a large area of the habitat using this mode of reproduction but at the cost of genetic variation.  

Since asexual reproduction results in Clones with same genetic material so the descendants of the plant will be less adaptive to changing the environment as asexual reproduction does not involve genes.

Infer: How might the size of a group affect its defense?
uysha [10]
I don't know exactly what you mean but the size of a group affects its defense because there is a larger group. Therefore, more people would be protecting it, adding more to its defense.

Explain the following statement: "Selection occurs within
True [87]

Answer: Selection occurs within generations; evolution occurs between generations. All four of Darwin's postulates are true for the medium ground finch population on Daphne Major. Darwin's theory therefore predicts a change in the composition of the population from one generation to the next. In biology, evolution is the change in the inherited traits of a population from generation to generation. ... Natural selection is a process that causes heritable traits that are helpful for survival and reproduction to become more common, and harmful traits to become more rare.

<h2>Mutation & genetic drift</h2>

Explanation:

  • A mutation is characterized as a lasting change to the DNA succession in a quality. This change moves the hereditary message conveyed by the quality and can modify the amino corrosive arrangement of the protein the quality encodes. This implies future cells created by the quality will just convey a specific characteristic.  
  • Genetic Drift is the change in the hereditary structure of a populace after some time because of possibility or irregular occasions. In instances of hereditary float, for example, catastrophic events or periods of irregular climate, the age that makes due to repeat won't really be the fittest, yet the most fortunate. Hereditary float doesn't allude to a particular change in hereditary cells, rather to arbitrary events that impact a population's genetic makeup.
  • Hence, the right answer of the fill up the blank is "mutation and genetic drift".
