We learned from hermaphroditic snails in New Zealand and C. elegans that populations that are undergo both sexual and asexual reproduction in the same population can alter the frequency of outcrossing resulting in changes in genetic diversity. Identify the statement that accurately reflects a real result. a.Sexual reproduction prevents the ability of snails and worms to coevolve with their parasites. b.Sexual reproduction frequency increases in the presence of a stressor, like pathogens and parasites. c.Asexual reproduction is favored when there are pathogens and parasites in the environment. d.Asexual reproduction enables the Red Queen hypothesis to play out and enable the pathogen to win.

Question

We learned from hermaphroditic snails in New Zealand and C. elegans that populations that are undergo both sexual and asexual reproduction in the same population can alter the frequency of outcrossing resulting in changes in genetic diversity. Identify the statement that accurately reflects a real result.

	a.	Sexual reproduction prevents the ability of snails and worms to coevolve with their parasites.
	b.	Sexual reproduction frequency increases in the presence of a stressor, like pathogens and parasites.
	c.	Asexual reproduction is favored when there are pathogens and parasites in the environment.
	d.	Asexual reproduction enables the Red Queen hypothesis to play out and enable the pathogen to win.

Definition Definition Organism that lives in the body of another organism and obtains food at the expense of the host. A parasite can directly or indirect harm the host. There are two kinds of parasites: internal and external. An internal parasite lives inside another organism and is known as an endoparasite. An external parasite lives on the body surface of the host and is known as an ectoparasite. Protozoa and helminths are examples of major human parasites.
