Which best describes reproduction? User: Which best describes reproduction? Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are identical to the parent. Sexual reproduction allows for diploid gametes to combine to increase genetic variation. Asexual reproduction leads to the formation of haploid gametes. Sexual reproduction does not require the production of gametes.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The answer is: asexual reproduction produces offspring that are identical to the parent.

The three other statements are incorrect for the following reasons:
Sexual reproduction allows for diploid gametes to combine to increase genetic variation: in sexual reproduction there are haploid gametes.
- Asexual reproduction leads to the formation of haploid gametes: gametes are not formed in asexual reproduction.
 - Sexual reproduction does not require the production of gametes:
sexual reproduction DOES require the production of gametes.
Answer 2
Answer:

The correct answer is option A

Asexual reproduction can be defined as the process by which an individual produces offspring that is completely identical to its parents.

The genetic makeup and phenotype of the organism is completely same as like that of its parents.

This is generally seen in organisms like amoeba, planaria, euglena, et cetera.

When glucose is needed by the cell, which organelles secrete enzymes in order to begin glucose breakdown?

Answers

The firstpath is from the nucleus. DNA from the nucleus, assigns specific job for theorganelles to follow through mRNA. The mRNA goes out from the nucleus andenters the cytoplasm where ribosomes will attach to the mRNA. The ribosome-mRNAcombination binds to the endoplasmic reticulum and signals the tRNA totranslate the message from DNA. A vesicle that contains the enzyme grows outfrom the endoplasmc reticulum ans transport the enzyme to the Golgi body forfurther processing. The main organelle would be the Golgi Body.

Some animals, such as cows, normally produce only one offspring from each mating. If a cow showed a dominant phenotype, why would a typical testcross be a difficult way to determine the genotype of that animal?

Answers

Answer:

Because of insufficient number of offsprings to determine the result of test cross.

Explanation:

Normally, in genetics, a test cross is a cross between a dominant phenotype (genotype unknown) and a homozygous recessive genotype in order to determine the genotype of that dominant organism.

The result of the test cross is obtained when a 1:1 phenotypic ratio is produced for each trait i.e. 1 dominant trait: 1 recessive trait showing that the parent is heterozygous while all the offsprings will show dominant traits if the dominant phenotype was homozygous. Hence, more than one offspring is required to be able to conclude

In this question, the cow only produce one offspring which may be DOMINANT for the observed trait making it difficult to know if other offsprings will all be dominant or some of them recessive. Hence, it is not a sufficient number needed to determine the genotype from the phenotypic ratio of offsprings.

Wildlife is plentiful in the pineywoods. There are over 100 species of birds and many small mammals, like cottontail rabbits and squirrels.What else MUST be included in the pineywoods habitat to keep populations in balance?



A) predators, like snakes
Eliminate

B) omnivores, like raccoons
C) more producers, like plants
D) small animals, like the opossum

Answers

Answer: The correct answer is-

A) predators, like snakes.

As per the information given in the question, there is plentiful wildlife in the  pineywoods. It is inhabited by more than 100 species of birds and many small mammals such as cottontail rabbits and squirrels.

In order to keep balanced population in pineywoods habitat, it is required to include predators like snakes ( that capture and eat other organisms as source of energy such as birds, rats, and other small mammals) as they will prevent the organism from overcrowding in the habitat.

Thus, it will maintain a balanced population in the pineywoods.

Therefore, option A) is the right answer.

There have to be predators in pinewoods, or else the wildlife will exceed the carrying capacity and begin to die off.
