Yeasts are single-celled eukaryotic organisms. Yeasts undergo mitotic division when conditions are favorable. When limited nutrients are available, yeasts start dividing by the process of meiosis. What is a likely reason for the change from mitosis to meiosis during reproduction under these conditions?

The process of meiosis produces greater numbers of yeast cells at a faster rate as compared to mitosis.

Crossing over of genes during meiosis increases diversity and the chance of survival of the next generation.

Duplication of genes during meiosis ensures efficient functioning of the newly formed yeast cells.

The yeast cells formed by meiosis are able to adapt as well as the parent cell because they are identical.

3points hurry! what is the relationship between biotechnology, sharkskin, and disease resistance? bioengineers have developed an artificial sharkskin that does not allow resistant bacteria to grow on it. disease-causing microbes have been genetically modified to keep them from infecting the skins of sharks. scientists have created a device that can be attached to the skins of sharks that dramatically increases their abilities to resist disease. sharkskin produces many chemicals that can be collected and used to create antibiotics.
