Please help Some organisms, such as bacteria, reproduce asexually; whereas, other organisms reproduce
sexually. Which statement correctly states why one type of reproduction is beneficial over the
other?
A. Asexually reproduced offspring are more genetically diverse.
B. Asexual reproduction produces offspring genetically different from parents.
C. Sexual reproduction can produce a large number of offspring very quickly.
D. Sexual reproduction produces organisms that are genetically diverse.

Sexual reproduction produces organisms that are genetically diverse.

Sexual reproduction involves the combination of chromosomes from both parents. This combination of chromosomes introduces variation into the population. This combination does not occur in asexual reproduction.

Hence, the statement that correctly states why one type of reproduction is beneficial over the  other is that sexual reproduction produces organisms that are genetically diverse.

D

Explanation: A isn't right because during asexual reproduction there is no exchange of genetic characteristics thus the offsprings retain the genetic characteristics of their parents and there is no diversity.

Sexual reproduction on the other hand involves the fusion of gametes and the exchange of genetic characteristics thus the offsprings are diverse and are not identical to their parents as is the contrary in asexual reproduction.

the types of mutations include: missense mutation: this type of mutation is a change in one dna base pair that results in the substitution of one amino acid for another in the protein made by a gene. nonsense mutation: a nonsense mutation is also a change in one dna base pair.

explanation:

what have scientists found to be the most efficient and effective way to insert new sequences into an individual? a-scientists have created genetically altered foods that release dna during digestion. b-scientists use viruses to insert specific gene sequences. c-scientists irradiate genes so that they can be absorbed through the skin.
