In asexual reproduction, reproductive organs aren't used but they're used.

advantage of sexual- A lot of genetic variation. since they have DNA of two parents. they can survive more and adapt more.

disadvantage of asexual- diversity is limited. Since the organism only gets the DNA of one parent, they wouldn't be able to really survive if something happened.They would easily be extinct.

Sorry I can't really cone up with better words but I hope you get the idea. it all comes down to natural selection really if you've learned about it. Hope it helped!!!

labwork [276]

Answer:

Closely related species occupying the same niche.

Explanation:

Competitive exclusion principle states that the two species cannot exist together if they share the same resources. The one species completely exclude the other species from their niche.

Competitive exclusion principle generally occurs between the species that occupy the same niche and are closely related with each other. The competitive exclusion principle first explained between the species <em>P. aurelia </em>and <em>P. caudatum.</em>

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

steposvetlana [31]

She was suggested to increase calcium phosphate and reduce soda content because acidic soda dissolves the calcium phosphate of the teeth.

Explanation:

Calcium phosphate is an important mineral which keeps the teeth firm and strong. If calcium phosphate is not present in adequate quantity it will cause the teeth to become soft and easy for cavities to get formed.

Calcium phosphate naturally repairs the teeth by remineralization process.

Soda contains phosphoric and citric acids which dissolve the protective layer of calcium phosphate of the teeth and makes it brittle causing increased cavities.

<h2>Messenger RNA </h2>

Explanation:

Messenger RNA results from the breakage and recombining of DNA strands that is known as transcription

Transcription always starts at a specific site called promoter
Promoter are specific sites on DNA where RNA Polymerase binds and initiates transcription
Synthesis of RNA occurs in 5'-3' direction and continuous
Only a strand of DNA act as template, template is also known as antisense strand or non coding strand
The complementary strand is the sense strand or the coding strand
Only a small segment of DNA is transcribed at a time generally called gene
