Why might asexual reproduction typically result in local colonization, while the products of sexual reproduction are typically dispersed?a. The variation resulting from meiosis and the union of gametes means some individuals will have a chance of colonizing diverse distant environments successfully. b. Asexual reproduction is only a "last ditch" alternative for plants when sexual reproduction fails. c. Sexual reproduction is only a "last ditch" alternative by which plants can "escape" the condition of being poorly adapted to the local environment. d. Vegetative propagation is more efficient than sexual reproduction when the current generation is well-adapted to the local environment.

A. The variation resulting from meiosis and the union of gametes means some individuals will have a chance of colonizing diverse distant environments successfully.

D. Vegetative propagation is more efficient than sexual reproduction when the current generation is well adapted to the local environment.

A.  

Explanation:

Asexual reproduction involves binary or multiple fission of cells or unicellular organisms while in the case of sexual reproduction there is no fission rather there is fusion of gametes. this fusion of gametes is the reason for diversity in the next generation.

A stage during sexual reproduction i.e. dispersal of gametes is the reason for distribution of organisms of similar species far apart while colonization in case of asexual reproduction is due to multiple divisions without dispersal of asexual gametes.

"menstrual cycle is a complex cycle that consists of several processes. order of occurrence of steps in menstrual cycle are as follows:

1. high progesterone levels maintain the endometrium lining of the uterus.

2. endometrium lining breaks down and low levels of estrogen stimulate the pituitary to release fsh and lh.

3. fsh and lh stimulates the follicles to develop and the oocyte to produce estrogen.

4. rising estrogen levels suppress fsh production and development of other follicles.

5. a spike in lh causes follicle to rupture.

6. a breakdown of corpus luteum causes progesterone level to drop."
