Many organisms can reproduce asexually through mitosis, while other organisms reproduce sexually, and their cells carry out meio

sis to form gametes. In a situation where an organism falls prey to many efficient predators, which of these processes would be most beneficial to a species?a) Meiosis: numerous daughter cells produced would increase the species' population.b) Meiosis: genetic variation would reduce the species' survival.c) Mitosis: numerous offspring would increase the odds that some of them would survive.d) Mitosis: numerous genetic mutations would help some individuals of the species.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Mitosis is a growth division unlike meiosis which an organism undergoes to produce gametes or sex cells during sexual reproduction.

Mitosis is a kind of cell division that results in two daughter cells, identical in genetic composition. An organism can undergo mitosis in asexual reproduction. For each mitotic division, two daughter cells emerge (duplication division), which will propagate the number of the species.

In a case of heavy predation, the prey organism will depend on diverse number to keep its species from getting extinct. Hence, undergoing mitosis to duplicate itself asexually will be most beneficial in this scenario as a large number will increase the chance that some of them will not be a victim of predation.
