Answer 1

The correct response is: The cheetah uses sexual reproduction, but the paramecium uses asexual reproduction.

Cheetahs reproduce sexually, involving the combination of genetic material from two parents. In contrast, paramecia can reproduce asexually through a process called binary fission, where one organism divides to form two genetically identical offspring.
