Many different types of mutations can occur within the body. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that is caused by different m

When is being genetically identical to the parent an advantage for organisms? Question options: When many offspring are needed i
nevsk [136]

Asexual reproduction is a form of reproduction in which the number of chromosomes or the fusion of gametes is not altered.

Being genetically identical to the parent is advantageous for organisms when the environment changes fast, and reproduction is needed.

A gamete (a reproductive cell with one set of chromosomes, like an egg or sperm) combines with another to form a zygote, eventually developing into an organism of cells with two sets of chromosomes. Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that involves this complex life cycle (diploid).

The advantages of sexual reproduction are numerous. Several instances include:

more genetic variation

immunity against contagious diseases

fewer genetic diseases

Evolutionary fitness has increased

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

It would harm the few plants that benefit from mutualistic relationships with mycorrhizal fungi

Explanation:

Mycorrhizal relationship is a symbiotic relationship between fungi and the roots of higher plants. While the plant provides the fungi with food, the fungi supply the plant with nutrients and water extracted from the soil.

<em>Hence, if a wide-spectrum fungicide is used in a forest and it kills all the fungi in the forest, it will affect all the plants that share beneficial relationship with fungi in the forest.</em>

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer: I think your punnett square is incorrect because it has 4 letters in one box. There must only be two letters in each box since your punnett square doesn't not contain four squares in a row or column.

Explanation:

It is perhaps Rr, Rr, Rr , and Rr again since they all start with a capital letter. The dominant allele takes over.
