Scientists studied reproduction in the new zealand mud snail to answer the question, “are there benefits to reproducing sexually or asexually? ” which of these hypotheses would least likely aid the scientists as they worked to answer the question? a.)sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction because it reduces the rate of mutation accumulation. b.)asexual reproduction is advantageous over sexual reproduction because it allows the snails to produce more offspring. c.)sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction because it allows for snails to have increased genetic variation. d.)asexual reproduction is advantageous over sexual reproduction because it decreases the snails’ need for social interaction.

Chlorophyll is found in plant leaves and absorbs light from the sun to enable plants to perform photosynthesis. magnesium is an important component of chlorophyll. the concentration of magnesium ions is higher in the root-hair cells of plants than in the soil. which mechanism of ion uptake would best enable a plant to produce a steady supply of chlorophyll? osmosis diffusion passive transport active transport

Ry was studying two populations of the same species of lizards. one population lived on an island and the other lived on the mainland. both populations were affected by a hurricane that hit the island and the mainland with equal force. a year later, henry was testing the gene frequency and saw a decrease in genetic variation in the island species, but not in the mainland species. which best describes a conclusion he might have reached? gene flow greatly affects small populations, but large populations can recover. genetic drift greatly affects small populations, but large populations can recover. gene flow greatly affects large populations, but small populations can recover. genetic drift greatly affects large populations, but small populations can recover.
