Question

Use the information to answer the following question.

Some species of sea stars are able to reproduce both sexually and asexually. Increasing ocean temperatures have impacted the environment of sea stars around the world.

Which argument provides the MOST LIKELY explanation for why populations that use sexual reproduction will demonstrate increased survival than those that use asexual reproduction?

  • A.
  • The population that uses sexual reproduction will be able to reproduce at a faster rate and replace the individuals that do not survive new environmental conditions.
  • B.
  • The population that uses sexual reproduction will reproduce at a slower rate allowing for them to identify and adapt to the new environmental conditions.
  • C.
  • The population that uses sexual reproduction will have less genetic diversity which will allow them to adapt to the new conditions more quickly.
  • D.
  • The population that uses sexual reproduction will have increased genetic diversity which will allow the population to adapt to the changing environmental conditions.
