Answer:

C) Most coniferous trees have both male and female cones.

Explanation:

Unlike flowering plants, conifers do not bear flowers. instead of flower they bear male and female cones.
The male cone produces the pollen and the female cone contains ovule which develop into seeds.
The reproductive cycle of a conifer begins in the spring when the male cone releases pollen in the wind and these pollen get trapped in the scales of female cones.
These pollen goes through a resting period and then fertilizes the ovule.that matures into seed.
The seeds of conifers are naked. i.e. not enclosed

Answer:

selective interference

Explanation:

Natural selection acts on genes that are inherited together, which is the case for species of asexual reproduction (where genes are inherited together by clonal offspring). In asexual species, linkage disequilibrium (i.e., non-random association of the alleles of different <em>loci</em>), can be understood in a similar mode in terms of population allele frequencies. Selective interference underlies the association between beneficial mutations and surrounding sites which are subject to deleterious mutations. It has been shown that asexual species adapt at a slower rate than species of sexual reproduction. In sexual species, selective interference could be bypassed through the mechanism of recombination during meiosis (although there is not conclusive evidence of this). In asexual species, different deleterious and beneficial mutations are generally fixed, whereas beneficial mutations are generally spread and fixed in species of sexual reproduction.
