The correct answer is option B. The scientists were studying if the mud snails can reproduce both sexually and asexually. The characteristics in the study included parameters such as the mating season, number of offspring, effect of environmental stress conditions and lack of mates. Out of all the parameters being studied can affect asexual reproduction in the mud snail but lack or presence of mates is a parameter required to be studied to determine the mode of reproduction i.e. sexual or asexual because need for mates or mate dependent reproduction occurs in case of sexual reproduction.

Which of the following statements about eating disorders is false?
tino4ka555 [31]

The correct answer is C. Prevention of eating disorders involves weighing often.

Explanation:

Eating disorders include multiple disorders that involve unhealthy eating habits as well as thoughts and emotions related to them. Individuals who suffer from these disorders constantly worry about their weight and appearance or have an unhealthy relationship with food, for example, individuals with anorexia or bulimia tend to believe they are "fat" even if they had low weight.

Due to this, weighing often is not a way of preventing eating disorders as this behavior just supports an unhealthy obsession with weight and appearance that can lead to eating disorders, instead, a balanced diet should be promoted and risk factors such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, etc should be addressed. Thus, the false statement is "Prevention of eating disorders involves weighing often".

On the other hand, based on the second study it is evident that the ecologists are studying the species diversity as with the assistance of different wavelengths of light reflected by the vegetation, they are differentiating between the vegetation found in different parts of the continent.  

The biodiversity helps humans in different ways, that is, by supporting the society in which they live and by maintaining a healthy biosphere. The biodiversity found around helps in the procedure of dead species decomposition, they offer humans with nutritious food, and also acts as natural sieves and clean the water for consumption. Hence, the correct options are 1, 2, and 3.
