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.

Will a female only inherit a sex linked disorder if her father suffers from the same disorder, and if her mother is a carrier fo
muminat

Answer:

The female will not inherit a sex linked disorder if her father suffers rather "have chances or the disorder if the mother is the carrier" for the disorder.

Explanation:

A female has 2 X chromosome, which she got from her parents each. The females will get the disorder or the defective gene if the mother has defective X chromosome or if the father is carrying the same disorder from his father(grandfather). In both the cases the female will be the carrier and have chances to inherit the defect to the offspring. But the female will  not affect as the  male will. As the female has 2 X chromosomes, and hence the dominant X will compensate for the error in recessive X.

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

A student has been studying electrical circuits in class. The student suggests that replacing a wire with rubber tubing will stop the current from flowing through a circuit. Which term best describes this idea?

Hypothesis

Explanation:

From the analogy, it is expedient to know that the student assertion about the electrical circuits was an hypothesis because it gives room for further investigation by other scholars.

In pea plants, round (R) is a dominant trait, and wrinkled (r) is a recessive trait. Which combination would result in wrinkled
Artyom0805 [142]
The answer is rr because if it were "Rr" it would be round. Dominant always exceeds the recessive. so if both traits were recessive, it would be recessive. so "rr" is your answer

ANSWER:GIVEN BELOW

The climate of a region depends on many factors including the amount of sunlight it receives, its height above sea level, the shape of the land, and how close it is to oceans. Since the equator receives more sunlight than the poles, climate varies depending on its distance from the equator.
