Summary Introduction

To determine:

The effect of only asexual reproduction of organisms in a population that have stopped the sexual reproduction by referring the concept 10.4.

Introduction:

Asexual reproduction involve production offspring from  a single organism, that inherit the genes from one parent only whereas  the sexual reproduction involve production of offspring from two individuals of different sexes (male and female), results in recombination of their genetic information in offspring.

Using this information, how do I figure out the answer to question1?    INTRODUCTION In most species of Drosophila, a female mating with a single male usually supplies sufficient sperm to fertilize her lifetime supply of eggs. Moreover, mating is often costly to female flies. So why do females of some species mate more than once? Perhaps they do this to assess the quality of males and/or the sperm males produce via sperm competition. Tom Price, Nina Wedell, and their colleagues at the University of Exeter provide evidence for the sperm competition hypothesis. They show multiple mating increases in frequency when a selfish genetic element that reduces sperm quality is prevalent. In Drosophila, females are XX and males are XY. They normally occur in equal numbers. In D. pseudoobscura, males that harbor the X-linked selfish genetic element sex ratio (SR) have produced nearly all female progeny, as SR sabotages Y-bearing sperm. The SR element gains a tremendous transmission advantage but…
Which statement/s can best explain how  evolutionary perspective help us understand senescence? (a)  Evolutionary theory allows scientists to compare closely related species that differ inhow they invest in reproduction and in body maintenance, to test for effects on the agingprocess. (b) Understanding evolution can generate predictions about how individuals with certain suites of life-history characteristics might fare in the aging process when compared to other individuals without those characteristics. (c) Because aging is a natural process for all species, explaining its evolution through natural selection is insufficient. (d) Evolutionary studies provides insight into the historical development of adaptations, such as the number of offspring an individual has, that may contribute to life-history trade-offs, such as aging.   A. Three of the 4 statements are correct. B. (a) and (d) C. (a) only D. (b) and (c)
