How does the production of sperm differ from the production of eggs? a. Sperm production involves meiosis, whereas egg production involves only mitosis. b. Meiosis during sperm production produces four sperm cells, whereas meiosis during egg production produces only one functional egg cell. c. Sperm are haploid, whereas eggs are diploid. d. Sperm production begins during fetal development, whereas the meiotic process that begins egg production doesn’t begin until puberty
What is a likely evolutionary advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction? a. Sexual reproduction involves fewer steps. b. There is a lower chance of using up the resources in a given environment. c. Sexual reproduction results in variation in the offspring. d. Sexual reproduction is more cost-effective.

- Imagine you've discovered a complex of closely related species of katydids and crickets. The species vary with respect to parasite exposure and the ability to reproduce sexually or asexually. In a comparative analysis of these species, which result would support the Red Queen hypothesis? A. Sexual reproduction should be more common in species that have low parasite exposure B. Sexual reproduction should be more common in species that have high parasite exposure C.Asexual reproduction should be more common in have high parasite exposure D.
