Answer:

BSL or the biological safety levels refers to an array of protections consigned to autoclave-associated activities, which occurs in specific biological labs. The BSL-3 refers to the biosafety level that generally comprises work on microbes, which are either exotic or indigenous and can result in potentially or extreme lethal disease via inhalation. The examples of microorganisms that are handled in BSL=3 comprises West Nile virus, yellow fever, and the bacteria, which leads to tuberculosis.

Lakes and rivers constitute _______.
Brums [2.3K]
<span>Perhaps surprisingly, lakes and rivers constitute a tiny proportion of the world's total freshwater, so answer (b) is correct. Most of the freshwater on our planet is in fact locked up in ice and glaciers, some 68%. The majority of the rest, 30%, is actually underground, in springs and other groundwater feeders. That leaves just 2% that makes up all the rivers, lakes, ponds and other visible freshwater reservoirs that we see in our day-to-day lives.</span>

Which statement about sexual and asexual reproduction is true? *
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

The answer is A. There is more genetic variation in organisms that reproduce sexually than those that reproduce asexually.

Explanation:

This is because offspring with two parents can get genetics from both family's which means there is a chance for many different types of characteristics.

If an offspring only has one parent however, the offspring will only get those genetics from the parent which means there are not many possibilities for offspring to look or act different then their parent.

Hope this helps! Have a good day! or don't...it's up to you- <3
