Summary Introduction
Tocompare: The amount of cost and benefits while allotting
Introduction: Reproduction is a biological process in which new offsprings are produced from parents. Natural selection only favors the traits that increase the surviving offsprings. Organisms use the resources either to improve their surviving rate or current reproduction.

Which of the following statements best describes the advantage of sexual reproduction in organisms?
It reduces genetic variation, which may be useful in the future.
It prevents adaptation in a changing environment.
It yields offspring with novel combinations of traits.
It eliminates the possibility of harmful traits being passed on.
tnf: Which of the following statements best describes the functions of villi and microvilli?
Villi and microvilli form the inner layer of epithelial tissue in the small intestine and increase the absorption of nutrients from chyme.
Villi and microvilli absorb food through the small intestine via smooth muscle contractions called peristalsis.
Villi and microvilli increase the surface area of the small intestine, which increases the absorption of nutrients by diffusion.
Villi and microvilli increase the surface area of the small intestine, which aids in the absorption of bile salts and vitamin B12.

Give a real world example.arrow_forwardBotany: Flowers, Fruits, and Seeds Sexual reproduction produces offspring that are not identical to each other or to either parent. Usually, some are more well adapted than the parents. Some are more poorly adapted, and most are about as adapted. What is one of the beneficial aspects of this diversity? Answer in 5 sentences.arrow_forward
- 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_forwardDescribe and distinguish between the several types of reproductive isolating mechanisms.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_forward
