An organism lives in an isolated lake located in a deep cavern. The lake is static, or unchanging, due to isolation. What method of reproduction is most likely for this organism?
1 answer
Asexual reproduction would be most likely for this organism living in an isolated lake with a static environment. Asexual reproduction allows for rapid population growth and does not require a mate, which would be beneficial in a limited and isolated habitat. This method of reproduction would allow the organism to efficiently colonize and survive in the stable environment of the lake.
