Organisms that reproduce sexually have greater genetic and thus characteristic variations, and so, are able to withstand more selection pressures if they so happen to change or become greater. This increases the chances of survival for that species itself.
Organisms that reproduce asexually are genetically identical to each other. They are unlikely to withstand any changes in selection pressures.
Hope this helps! :)
The answer is d.their cells have some differences in the sequence of nucleotides in their nucleic acids
Human and mice is both mammals and have similar structure and metabolism. There should be no big differences in biological or organic molecule. The big differences should be the sequence of the nucleic acids in their DNA. Mice could produce similar protein in human, but the DNA is different.
