Answer: Option D.

Explanation:

An ionic bond is defined as a chemical bond forms when two oppositely charged ions undergo electrostatic attraction. Ionic bonds always formed between a metal (cation), and a nonmetal (an anion).

Ionic bonds are formed when a cation (metal) donates an electron to anion (nonmetal). for example formation of Sodium Fluoride (NaF), sodium (cation) with atomic number eleven is having one valence electron in its outer orbit and fluoride (anion) with atomic number nine require one atom to complete its orbit, so the sodium atoms transfer one electrons to fluoride and leads to the formation of an ionic compound.

Hence, the correct option is D.

Why are scientists warning that exclusively growing this mutant type by asexual reproduction presents a serious disadvantage?
Alla [95]

Answer:

Asexual reproduction can be described as a process in which daughter cells are produced which are 100% identical to the parent cells. Unlike the process of sexual reproduction, no recombination occurs in asexual reproduction. Hence, no variability is produced when organisms reproduce by this method.

<u><em>As there will be lack of variability in asexual reproduction, the whole of the particular species might become endangered or extinct due to a disease or due to other factors like pests.</em></u>
