Many sponges can reproduce asexually. Ladybugs, on the other hand, reproduce sexually. When small bits of a sponge are broken off—often by currents or by predators—they can float to new regions and regenerate as new sponges. A ladybug must find a mate before it can reproduce. One disadvantage of the sponge's method of reproduction is that
it produces genetically identical offspring, which means that there is no variation in the population and it is more susceptible to diseases and environmental changes. In contrast, the ladybug's method of reproduction produces offspring with different genetic traits, which increases the likelihood of adaptation and survival in changing conditions.
could you pick one of these answer choices?
a. it requires more energy.
b. its offspring have little genetic diversity.
c. its offspring have greater genetic diversity.
d. it must devote a greater portion of its life cycle to reproduction.
b. its offspring have little genetic diversity.
Which of the following is a method of reproduction that generally occurs very rapidly?
hybridizing
sexual
asexual
germination

Rabbits with a mutation for longer, thicker fur survive an unusually cold winter, while many normal rabbits do not survive.
here are approximately 200 species of mice that live all over the world. Deer mice are a particular species of mice that prefer to live in forests, prairies, and fields. It has been observed that deer mice that live in trees tend to have longer tails because they use their tails for balance. Deer mice that live in prairies and fields tend to have shorter tails so they are less likely to be caught when running away from predators. If a forest fire occurred in an ecosystem eliminating the majority of the trees and short-tailed mice are naturally selected over long-tailed mice, the evolution of the mice can be primarily attributed to
genetic engineering.
selective breeding.
environmental factors.
human impact.

Diagram 1 shows the fossilized remains of the lower portion of a camel's leg. Each subsequent diagram shows the same portion of a camel's leg, but the diagrams are from progressively later time periods. Diagram 4 shows the most recent fossil.

Which of the following is true about genes?
Genes are responsible for all the traits of an organism.

Some redwood trees reproduce both sexually and asexually. Once a tree reaches maturity, it can reproduce with another tree through pollination and fertilization. The tree then disperses thousands of seeds so that some of them might take root. However, a tree can also reproduce asexually. If it falls down, several smaller trees can sprout from its trunk without the need of fertilization.Why is it advantageous for a redwood to reproduce sexually when it could reproduce asexually instead?
It reduces the need to find a mate.
It increases the energy needed to reproduce.
It increases the genetic diversity of the tree's offspring.
It decreases the time needed to reproduce.
Many animals, including the brittle star and snapping shrimp, make their homes inside sea sponges. Here, the animals not only find safe shelter, but also have a constant flow of well-oxygenated water, and may even eat the substance produced by the sponges. The sponges are not affected in any way by the presence of these animals.Which type of relationship does this represent?
parasitism
predator/prey
mutualism
commensalism
Sexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically _______ to the parents.
identical
unrelated
similar
opposite
