Heritable variation is required for which of the following?
A) Evolution
B) Asexual reproduction
C) Mitosis
D) Meiosis
Sexual reproduction involves an organism
(A.) growing from body parts that are cut or broken off the parent.
(B.) being produced through a unique combination of DNA from two gametes.
(C.) generating an identical offspring on the surface of its own body.
(D.) replicating its DNA before dividing in half to produce two organisms.
|(A) Briefly explain the Darwinian theory of natural selection. (B) Darwin also
developed the idea of sexual selection. Explain sexual selection. (C) How might
sexual selection lead to exaggerated morphology or behavior? (D) and how might
natural selection affect the evolution of these exaggerated traits?
