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

Which of the following is an example of natural selection?
Pesticides are sprayed in a field, resulting in an increase in crop growth and a decrease in insect population.
Cricket frogs prefer to sleep during the day, while red-eyed tree frogs prefer to sleep during the night.
To produce a more desirable fruit, a farmer crosses a tree that produces sweet oranges with a tree that produces large oranges.
Rabbits with a mutation for longer, thicker fur survive an unusually cold winter, while many normal rabbits do not survive.

Answer
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

Answer
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
If there were no decomposers, which of the following would most likely happen?
Some plants might die due to a shortage of important nutrients.
The amount of dead plant and animal matter would decrease.
Plants and animals would remain living for a longer period of time.
Animals would start carrying out photosynthesis.
Over time, the climate of a region becomes cooler. How will this most likely affect the species living in that region?
Some species that already have or that develop cold-weather adaptations through natural selection will survive, while species without cold-weather adaptations may go extinct.
All of the current species living in the region will migrate to warmer areas, while species adapted to cold-weather climates will migrate into the region.
All of the current species living in the area will become extinct, and new species better adapted to the climate will form and populate the region.
Most of the current species living in the area will develop beneficial mutations, which will lead to adaptations that help them survive in the new climate.

The Canadian lynx is a large wild cat that lives in the cold regions of Canada. The snowshoe hare is the main prey species that is hunted by the Canadian lynx. The snowshoe hare eats grass, fern, and leaves.If the population of Canadian lynx were to completely disappear, what would most likely happen to the food supply of the snowshoe hare?
The population of snowshoe hare would decrease, and there would be more food available.
The snowshoe hare would stop eating grass, so there would be less food available.
The snowshoe hare would start eating each other, so the food supply would not be affected.
The population of snowshoe hare would outgrow the food supply, so there would be less food available.
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.

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.
