<u>Answer:</u>
The process of reproducing offspring from female eggs without any male involvement.
<u>Advantages</u>
1- Rapid production of numerous offspring and there is need of male gametes.
2- Require less amount of time and energy
3- Offspring are the exact copies of the parents and are called clones as they are similar morphologically and genetically.
<u>Disadvantages</u>
1- There is no genetic variability.
2- No new genetic combinations which can be a threat for their survival during population selection.
False. Although enzymes work as catalyst, they are not carbohydrates, they are proteins.
Answer:
The correct answer would be allergies.
Allergies is one of the common disadvantages of recombinant DNA technology.
It has been observed that use of genetically modified crops can cause life-threatening allergies.
The possible reason is that the introduction of new genes in the crops may lead to the formation of new proteins our body has never encountered with. These proteins may have a potential to cause allergies or any other life-threatening diseases or complications.
Answer:
e. Because gene flow between populations prevents genetic divergence in sympatry.
Explanation:
Speciation requires genetic divergence between populations of a species to isolate them reproductively. however, when present in the same habitat, gene flow between populations of a species does not allow their reproductive isolation and thereby, prevents the formation of new species. These populations need strong episodes of disruptive selection for their reproductive isolation.
On the other hand, two geographically isolated populations can not interbreed and thus, there is no gene flow between them leading to their genetic divergence and speciation. So, allopatric speciation is more common than sympatric one.
