a. the carbohydrates tag is interpreted in the ribosomes, and the signal is passed on to the nucleus of the cell
b. they either matchup up with a receptor molecule on the surface of the cell or enter the cell through the membrane
c. they connect with an adjacent cell where an ion linked receptor carry them into the nucleus
d. the connect with another cell part such as the golgi apparatus, with hormones interpret the signal

Scientists studied reproduction in the new zealand mud snail to answer the question, “are there benefits to reproducing sexually or asexually? ” which of these hypotheses would least likely aid the scientists as they worked to answer the question? sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction because it reduces the rate of mutation accumulation. asexual reproduction is advantageous over sexual reproduction because it allows the snails to produce more offspring. sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction because it allows for snails to have increased genetic variation. asexual reproduction is advantageous over sexual reproduction because it decreases the snails’ need for social
