Why does sexual reproduction result in more genetic variation in a species than asexual reproduction?

Biology
1 answer:
goldenfox [79]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

B

Explanation:

During asexual reproduction, the parent essentially clones their DNA to make their child. This means that there is very little possible variation, except for some occasional mutations. However, during sexual reproduction, the child gets the copy of DNA from both of their parents, and their features a mixture of their parents. This makes them not identical to either parent, unlike asexual reproduction. Therefore, the correct answer is choice B. Hope this helps!

Put the steps of the nitrogen cycle in order, starting with the step that
Pepsi [2]

Nitrogen Cycle steps:

N molecules breaking apart via nitrogen-fixing bacteria.

Animals ingest nitrogen in nitrate-containing food after plants use nitrogen-containing compounds.

The organic matter decays via decomposers

N2 is formed via denitrifying bacteria.

Explanation:

The nitrogen-fixing bacteria removes atmospheric nitrogen by fixing nitrogen through nitrification. The atmospheric nitrogen cannot be absorbed by plants and hence has to be converted into nitrates. This conversion takes place by nitrifying bacteria present in leguminous plants.

Animals (herbivores) consume the plants that have absorbed nitrogen/

When these animals die, decomposing bacteria acts on the dead organic matter, decomposition takes place through ammonification, converting the organic nitrates into ammonia

The nitrates are converted back again to nitrogen by the action of denitrifying bacteria.  

The nitrogen thus formed is released to the atmosphere
