Red queen hypotheses
It is said that sexual reproduction is selectively advantageous to asexual reproduciton. Why is the case?
A.
Asexual reproduction produces much more genetic diveristy than sexual reproduction
B.
Asexual repoduction is only half as efficient as sexual repdocution in sending ones genes into the next generation
C.
Sexual reproduction increases genetic diversity and consequently slows the rate of evolution
D.
Sexual reproduction is much faster than asexual repoduction
E.
Sexaul reproduction produces variation among populations which can help increase fitness for certain individuals/increase selection for favorable trait
Evolution in Humans
1) explain what evolutionary mechanisms are involved in creating variation in populations
2) define homology and analogy and discuss examples of each

(Select all that apply.) 80 A Check All That Apply Moths that could smell the nectar at the bottom of the orchid saw the need for a longer tongue, so they grew one that reached the nectar and passed on the longer tongue to their offspring. Moths that could smell the nectar at the bottom of the orchid mated with females that had longer tongues so that their offspring might have a chance to reach the nectar At least one moth species has always been able to reach the nectar of the orchid. Moths with longer tongues are more likely to have access to the orchid nectar and are therefore more likely to survive to reproduction. 000 F4 Orchids with deeper nectaries are more likely to have moths rub against their pollen, and are therefore more likely to reproduce than orchids with shallow nectaries. % Saved 8 F7 DII FB F9 what does evolution ofarrow_forward

Asexual reproduction; organisms that utilize this strategy have increased genetic diversity which increases their ability to adapt to frequent changes. B.
