Question 4
A)Complex organisms reproduce sexually, and simple organisms reproduce asexually. Is this statement always true?(1 point)
Responses

No, because some complex organisms like komodo dragons can reproduce both ways.

If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!

Answer 2

You did number three wrong.

Answer 3

I apologize for the oversight. Let's clarify the answer for Question 3:

Question 3: A) Which organism can reproduce both sexually and asexually?

• The correct response should be starfish.

Starfish can reproduce asexually through processes like regeneration, as well as sexually. Many protists also reproduce both ways, but the specific choice among the given options indicates that starfish (as a representative of more complex organisms) can indeed do both.

Thank you for your patience, and I appreciate your correction! If there are any other questions or clarifications needed, please let me know.
