Vance is demonstrating conceptual knowledge
Conceptual knowledge is the clear and detailed understanding of principles, concepts, models or theories and the understanding of the linking relationships between them. Conceptual knowledge is acquired by thoughtful, reflective learning, listening, reading, or viewing. From the question, Vance is demonstrating conceptual knowledge because he has the explicit understanding of why rainfall amounts affect different types of vegetation positively and others negatively.
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.
