Scientists studied reproduction in the New Zealand mud snail to answer the question, “Are there benefits to reproducing sexually

or asexually?” Which of these hypotheses would least likely aid the scientists as they worked to answer the question?
Sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction because it reduces the rate of mutation accumulation.
Asexual reproduction is advantageous over sexual reproduction because it allows the snails to produce more offspring.
Sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction because it allows for snails to have increased genetic variation.
Asexual reproduction is advantageous over sexual reproduction because it decreases the snails’ need for social interaction.

Answer:

Sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction because it reduces the rate of mutation accumulation.

Explanation:

The main advantage of sexual reproduction is that it increases the genetic variation in the species by creating new combinations of alleles.

However, asexual reproduction produces more offspring, as it is usually a quicker method of reproduction. It also does not require the organisms to socialise to mate.

Sexual reproduction does not reduce the rate of mutation, which is influenced by environmental factors as well as the genome itself.

Stem cells are important to multicellular organisms because of their
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

ability to differentiate into other cell types during cell division i.e. totipotent nature

Explanation:

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells with the unique ability to develop into specialized cell types in the body during early life and growth through the process of cellular differentiation. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential to either to remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function e.g muscle cell, red blood cell or a brain cell.

Stem cells provide new cells for the body as it grows, and replace specialized cells that are damaged or lost. This ability of stem cells to differentiate into a variety of cell types in an organism including embryonic tissue, is an important distinguishing factor. They have two unique properties that enable them do so:

1. They can divide over and over to produce new cells

2. As they divide, they can change into the other types of cell (cellular differentiation).

Using the theory of natural selection, what is antibiotic resistance
ddd [48]

Answer:

Antibiotic resistance is when pathogens such as bacteria or fungi develop a resistance to antibiotics. This happens when some pathogens die, and others survive. The small number of pathogens that had a resistance to the antibiotic will reproduce more offspring that are also resistant to, and those offspring will reproduce even more offspring and so on. Eventually most pathogens will be resistant to the antibiotic, so antibiotics won't work.

Sea anemones can reproduce sexually or asexually. What would be the most likely advantage a sea anemone would have to reproduce
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Re-producing sexually will allow the sea anemones to give their offspring a more diverse gene pool and can mitigate the risks of a genetic disorder being spread to the offspring because the bad gene has a higher chance become recessive if the gene of the anemone it mates with is more dominant (meaning it wouldn't allow the "bad" gene to show in the offspring) whereas otherwise, the offspring would have the same issues the mother did (assuming it had a bad gene to begin with).
