Why would a scientist use asexual reproduction to grow two offspring of a plant, instead of using sexual reproduction O The plants would be an exact genetic match. O The plants would have fewer recessive traits. O The plants would have greater genetic diversity. O The plants would be more likely to mutate.

When tomatoes are fully ripe, they develop bright red skins. William recently built a garden and decided to investigate tomato reproduction. He found that green tomatoes (not fully ripe) have an 18% chance of germinating while red tomatoes (fully ripe) have a 78% chance of germinating. Based on the data provided from the investigation, explain what characteristic(s) contributes to the probability of the tomatoes reproductive success and what factors (genetic or environmental) might impact the growth and development of the tomatoes. Answer should be based on : Claim: includes the idea that characteristic animal behaviors or specialized plant structures affect the probability of successful reproduction. Evidence: supports claim including: -behaviors and/or structures that increase the probability of reproduction -cause and effect relationship between the behavior/structure and the successful reproduction of organisms that have them -plant reproduction and the animal behaviors…

Based on this evidence, is it likely that burdock would reproduce as much if it didn’t have specially structured seeds? (a) it is most likely that it would still reproduce, but the offspring would probably be located much closer together (b) there is not enough information to speculate about how well burdock plants reproduce (c) no, there wouldn’t be as much burdock without its special structures (d) Yes, burdock would spread just as well regardless of the design of its seed pods

Antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria proliferate when antibiotics kill good bacteria and select for any cells resistant to that antibiotic.O B. Birds and bats both have wings, but these structures developed independently.O C. Sharks and dolphins look very similar, but sharks are a type of fish, and dolphins are a type of mammal.O D. Some plants that require pollination have developed ways to attract pollinators, such as brightly colored and fragrant flowers; pollinators have developed specializedstructures to obtain pollen and nectar from the plants.
