Students have asked these similar questions
Unicellular organisms such as bacteria depend on asexual reproduction. Why is sexual reproduction so common in multicellular organisms?
1 - because it produce more offspring
2 - because it creates genetic variation in the population
3 - because a sexual population can grow faster than an. Asexual population
4 - because it produces offspring that are identical to the parents
5 - because it requires less energy
Interspecific hybrids, if they survive, are (a) always sterile (b) always fertile (c) usually sterile (d) usually fertile (e) never sterile
Which of the following is not a contributor to genetic variation? (a) binary fission (b) crossing-over of homologous chromosomes (c) random assortment of homologous chromosomes (d) fertilization

- 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.arrow_forwardWhich of the following organism that undergoes asexual reproduction is the most interested to be studied? •Hydra •Some species of sea stars •Cyanobacteria •Some plants •Fernsarrow_forward1. Is there a correlation between survival, reproduction and environment color? Explain. 2. Are there any other factors besides color important in determining survival in the simulation? 3. Why did we set the rate of reproduction at 2/survivor? What would happen if one color always had more offspring than other colors? 4. Suppose that a mutation occurs and a white, “albino” bead is born. How well would it survive in your environment? Please answer all questions pleasearrow_forward

Explain how humans reproduce their young ones?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is an advantage of asexual reproduction over sexual reproduction? A. Asexual reproduction leads to offspring with high genetic diversity. B. Asexual reproduction requires a partner. C. The resulting offspring have no genetic diversity. D. Asexual reproduction does not require a partner.arrow_forward
- The developmental pattern of C. elegans is said to be mosaic because (a) development is controlled by gradients of morphogens (b) part of the embryo fails to develop if a founder cell is destroyed (c) some individuals are selffertilizing hermaphrodites (d) all development is controlled by maternal effect genes (e) apoptosis never occursarrow_forwardWhy do asexual reproduction in animals reproduce faster than sexual reproduction? In which environment will reproduction be more effective, stable or predictable? Explain your answer in 3 sentences only. In which method has high rate of survival, sexual or asexual reproduction? Why?arrow_forward1.) In your own world, define zoology 2.) Describe the Hierarchical organization of life. How does this organization lead to the emergence of new properties at different levels of biological complexity? 3.) What contributed to the formulation of chromosomal theory of inheritance? 4.)
