Which example represents a DISADVANTAGE of asexual reproduction? A) Genetic variety slowly causes hundreds of species of beetles

to form from a single species. B) A single antibiotic is able to quickly and easily kill millions of genetically identical bacteria. C) Millions of bacteria are quickly produced by cell division, in one afternoon in a jug of milk that has been left on the counter. Eliminate D) Male anglerfish must live on larger females as parasitic mates, since they encounter other anglerfish so infrequently in the deep ocean.

Answer:

The correct answer would be an option B.

Asexual reproduction is a reproduction in which offspring are produced from a single parent.

It does not involve fusion of gametes and crossing over due to which the offspring contain identical genome as that of parents.

This reduces the genetic diversity in a population due to which all the organisms of a population are at equal risk of extinction under unfavorable conditions such as high temperature, antibiotics, change in pH of surrounding medium et cetera.

Thus, the disadvantage of asexual reproduction is the lack of genetic diversity due to which a single antibiotic is able to kill millions of genetically identical bacteria.

According to the dichotomous key, in what way(s) is the house sparrow similar to the cobra? A) Both are autotrophic and live on
vitfil [10]

The correct answer is the option (D) Both are not a mammal, are multicellular, and are heterotrophic.

Keys in biology are used to identify the different species based on the easily identifiable features of the organism. A dichotomous key consists of a series of questions on features like habitat, mode of nutrition, class to which they belong and other features, with each question having two answers describing the characteristic features of an organism. The series of questions begin with a broader characteristic feature becoming narrow gradually and helping in the identification of the organism.

Both the house sparrow and a cobra cannot synthesize their own food and depend on other organisms for food. Hence they are heterotrophic. They are multicellular in nature. A cobra belongs to the class Repltiles and a house sparrow belongs to the class Aves. Thus, a house sparrow and a cobra are similar to each other in being multicellular, heterotrophic and not belonging to the class mammals.
