Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following is a disadvantage of sexual reproduction?
a.)Offspring can be reproduced more quickly than by sexual means
b.)Two parents are required for making sex cells
c.)Offspring are genetically different
d.)Genetic diversity makes organism respond uniformly to environment changes
Some organisms are capable of asexual or sexual reproduction. Under favorable conditions, reproduction proceeds asexually. When conditions become more stressful reproduction switches to a sexual mode. Why?
Question options:
Sexual reproduction is simple and more rapid allowing larger numbers of offspring to be produced.
Sexual reproduction requires two separate individuals, who can mutually provide nutrient support during stress.
Sexual reproduction produces individuals with new combinations of recombined chromosomes increasing diversity.
Asexual reproduction requires more energy.
Sexual reproduction increases variation

False

- Why does asexual reproduction disadvantageous? * It takes time and energy to find a mate and reproduce. No answer Both A and B Low genetic diversity means susceptibility to diseases Fewer offspring are typically produced.arrow_forwardGlobal warming is an issue affecting many species around the world. Warming has caused the temperatures in lakes and rivers to increase and stay elevated for longer periods of time. Select the FOUR numbers that describe the possible effects of global warming on the reproduction of rainbow trout in the wild and on biodiversity. The extra set of chromosomes remains. The extra set of chromosomes is removed. The offspring are diploid (2n). The offspring are triploid (3n). The offspring cannot reproduce. The offspring can reproduce. Biodiversity decreases. Biodiversity increases. Please record the FOUR numbers in ascending order.arrow_forwardWhich of the following are sources of genetic variation? Choose ALL that apply!

- Do mutations in body cells contribute to genetic variation? No, the causes of body cell mutations are outside the body and cannot alter DNA. Yes, these body cell mutations lead to mutations in the gametes. No, the mutations cannot be passed to offspring and only affect the individual. Yes, the mutations can be passed on to offspring and contribute to variation in the population. I think it is the 3rd answer because mutations in body cells can't be passed on and only stay with the individual. Please confirm.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about reproduction are true? I-Fertilization only occurs in sexual reproduction. II-Reproduction is to ensure the continuity of living things. III-In reproduction, both male and female produces eggs and sperms. a) I only b) I & II c) I, II, & III d)None of the abovearrow_forwardList three reasons why individuals that result from sexual reproduction do not have the same DNA instructions as their parents.arrow_forward
- hy is it important to support research on the social, cultural, and psychological aspects of reproduction? Group of answer choices: Freer trade will increase per capita income and raise standards of living. This will stimulate economic growth and reduce poverty. The rich-poor gap could narrow decreasing social strife. More motivation is needed to regulate population growth. A higher standard of living and increased job opportunities could result.arrow_forwardWhat will happen to an organism once its cells failed to undergo the process of 1A.

Notice that the default is for all three genotypes to be set at 1.0. This indicates that all three genotypes have the same effect on survival and reproduction. Change the Genotype Relative Fitness of the rr genotype to 0.6. This indicates that the rr genotype (white phenotype) has a strong disadvantage over the other type genotypes in terms of survival and reproduction. Start the simulation and let it run for 200 generations. http://virtualbiologylab.org/ModelsHTML5/PopGenFishbowl/PopGenFishbowl.html When you started the simulation, your initial alleles frequencies were: R = 0.5 r = 0.5 What are your allele frequencies after 200 generations of strong selection?arrow_forward
