Answer: Sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction because it reduces the rate of mutation accumulation.
New Zealand mud snails reproduce through asexual and sexual modes of reproduction. Asexual reproduction allows these organisms to reproduce more number of offsprings. Asexual reproduction advantageous as these organisms faces natural disaster conditions like tide, drought results in the decrease in the population. Therefore, does not get mate to undergo sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction in these snails results in genetic variation in offsprings. Sexual reproduction results in increase in mutation rate in the genetic material being passed to offsprings because of resorting of genetic material being distributed from parent to offspring. This will result in genetic variations. Hence, parent will be different from offsprings. In asexual reproduction offsprings are the clones of parents as there is no resorting of genetic material takes place.
I think the correct stage would be In the prophase.
Animals like a kangaroo rat has natrul defenses that help itself while living in the dune
8. Mitochondria
9. The structure affects its function because in its inner membrane allows for more surface area and that increases the amount of ATP that is produced by it. <span>
