Answer:

b. forward mutation, suppressor mutation

Explanation:

When the nucleotide sequence of an organism is altered, it is called as mutation. It can be caused by DNA damage or replication errors. In forward mutation, the wild type allele is converted to a mutant version such that the gene product is non functional or its not produced at all. Suppressor mutation is the second mutation which reverses the phenotypic effects of the previous mutation. This process is called as synthetic rescue.

Since here gene X was converted into a mutant form by the mutation, it had undergone forward mutation. When gene Y was mutated, the function of gene X was  restored which ultimately also restored the phenotype hence it is an example of suppressor mutation.

Many plants can reproduce sexually and asexually because _____.
lbvjy [14]
The answer is A. Environmental conditions are not always right to produce flowers and seeds for sexual reproduction.

Most plants are able to reproduce either way because even if the conditions aren't right for the plant, it can still make more flowers so it doesn't die out.

I hope this helps! :D
