Answer:

B. clonal interference

Explanation:

Clonal interference refers to the phenomenon in which multiple beneficial mutations in different lineages compete with each other. These lineages should exhibit no recombination for clonal interference to be operative. Without any recombination, several beneficial mutations compete as they cannot find space in the genome of the organisms. This leads to the extinction of one or more beneficial mutations from these lineages.

In the given example, two individuals reproduce by asexual reproduction and therefore, their genomes do not experience recombination. Clonal interference leads to the extinction of one of the beneficial mutations from their descendants.

Increased atmospheric carbon dioxide negatively affects coral reefs by: select one:
Ksenya-84 [330]
Increased atmospheric carbon dioxide will diffuse to the ocean water (since normally, there is lower concentration of dissolved carbon dioxide in the ocean water). The dissolved carbon dioxide takes into the form of carbonic acid thereby increasing acidity of ocean water. More often than not, the acidification of ocean water leads to detrimental results especially in marine organisms that are pH sensitive such as coral reefs and many invertebrates.
