The correct answer is A) Generates new combinations of alleles upon which selection can act.

Explanation:

In biology, there are two main kinds of reproduction: sexual and asexual. Asexual reproduction occurs when there is only a parent involve and this divides, splits or similar to form new cells or organisms that are genetically identical to the parent. On the other hand, in sexual reproduction, there are two parents involved, usually from opposite sexes and the alleles of both are combined in the offspring. The main advantage or benefit of sexual reproduction is that it involves the combination of alleles which means genetic variation, this makes the population able to adapt and evolve as selection acts and also makes a population less vulnerable to diseases. Thus, a benefit of sexual reproduction is that "Generates new combinations of alleles upon which selection can act".

Why do people feel fireworks before hearing it?
mars1129 [50]

An example of this is seeing lightning before hearing thunder. When lightning strikes, the air around it moves very quickly, causing vibrations.

Alika [10]
The correct answer is: 'Reptiles are ectotherms and cannot raise their body temperature above that of the environment'. Birds sit on their eggs to incubate the eggs as the body temperature of the adult bird warms up the eggs. Birds are <span>endothermic homeotherms, and maintain a constant body temperature. In contrast </span>reptiles <span>are ectothermic poikilotherms, and their body temperature depends on the temperature of the outside environment.</span>
