A class is debating the advantages and disadvantages of different types of reproduction. One student argues that organisms that

reproduce asexually, like bacteria, have no advantage over organisms that reproduce sexually.
Which of the following choices below represents an argument for the advantages of asexual reproduction?
A. Organisms that reproduce asexually are likely to find a mate at a faster rate than sexually reproducing organisms, which allows them to reproduce faster.
B. Organisms that reproduce asexually are more diverse and are more likely to pass on key genes for survival to future generations, which aids in maintaining beneficial genes for survival in the gene pool
C. Organisms that reproduce asexually gain variation through processes like crossing over, which allows survival in instances of ecological change
D. Organisms that reproduce asexually create a large amount of offspring in a short period of time in order to maintain their population

Answer: D. Organisms that reproduce asexually create a large amount of offspring in a short period of time in order to maintain their population.

Explanation:

When an organism is able to reproduce asexually as opposed to sexually, it means that they do not require a mate to make offspring. Offspring of such organisms will therefore receive all their genes from one source.

Such organisms are able to reproduce very fast when they are presented with adequate conditions especially because they do not need another organism to do so. They will neither have to waste much energy nor have to go through the whole sexual process so they will be able to produce lots of offspring.

How do products of meiosis I differ from those of meiosis ll?
VLD [36.1K]
Meiosis I is dedicated to forming two Haploid(half chromosome) cells bby separating each pair of chromosomes (one of each type in each cell) and the recombination, or shuffling of genes on each chromosome with its pair by crossing over, While Meiosis II is meant to split the individual chromatids in the haploid cells to create a total or 4 daughter cells 

Hope this helps! :)

Which of the following is not a contributing factor to ecosystem stability species, genetic,ecosystem, or abiotic diversity.
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Ecosystem.

Explanation:

Ecosystem is not a contributing factor to ecosystem stability whereas, species, genetic, and abiotic diversity are the factors that contributes in the stability of an ecosystem. The diversity of species greatly affected the ecosystem stability if more species are present in he ecosystem. The abiotic factors also plays an important role in the stability of an ecosystem because these abiotic factors causes changes in the ecosystem environmental conditions.

Give an example of how an organism can use surface tension?
aliya0001 [1]
Insects, such as water striders, and spiders, such as fisher spiders, can glide or scamper across the surface of water. These critters are small enough that their weight can be supported almost entirely by surface tension, the relatively weak forces that hold water molecules together.




Surface tension of water helps creatures(mostly of insecta class such as water striders) to walk on water. ... it also helps water to move up the xylem tissue of higher plants without breaking up
