Why can asexual reproduction be advantageous? For those individuals who do not encounter their own species very often
When a new area needs to be colonized
So an organism does not have to develop specialized sexual structures
For those species who are sedentary

What type of reproduction do the rotifers use when conditions become unstable or harsh?
Sexual reproduction
Asexual reproduction
Bisexual reproduction
No reproduction

What is a degenerate male?
Males that only survive one day
Males that survive no longer than one year
Males that start to die immediately after birth
Males that only survive to produce sperm

Why are disease and infection easily given to organisms that reproduce asexually?
Natural selection
They have bad immune systems
Their DNA does not mutate quickly enough
They are smaller and weaker organisms

What does it mean to germinate?
To stay underground
To stay covered
To start to die and wither
To sprout or grow

What is the naturally occurring variation in the genetic information on a segment of DNA among individuals?
Polymorphism
Genetic variation
Mutation
Morphism

What is the number of different genetic combinations available in a given gene pool?
Genetic combinations
Genetic diversity
Genetic variation
Genetic assortment

What is likely to happen when there is more genetic diversity?
The slower an individual adapts to its changing environment
The more likely that some individuals will adapt to the changing environment
The more offspring an individual will produce
The more struggles an individual will have surviving

an individual’s sex (i.e., whether they are a male or female) is determined by the sex chromosomes. most people have two sex chromosomes, one that is inherited from their mother and one that is inherited from their father. typically, females have two x chromosomes (xx) and males have one x chromosome and one y chromosome (xy). conditions caused by changes (“mutations”) in genes located on the x chromosome are considered x-linked.

x-linked recessive inheritance

most x-linked conditions are recessive. this means that in a person with two x chromosomes (most females), both copies of a gene (i.e., one on each x chromosome) must have a change or mutation whereas in a person with one x chromosome (most males), only one copy of a gene must have a mutation. a female with a mutation in one copy of a gene on the x chromosome is said to be a “carrier” for an x-linked condition. a male with a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome is typically affected with the condition. because females have two copies of the x chromosome and males have only one x chromosome, x-linked recessive diseases are more common among males than females. however, x-linked recessive diseases can occur in both males and females.

for x-linked recessive disorders, an unaffected carrier mother who has a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome can transmit either the x chromosome with this mutation or a “normal” x chromosome to her children. if the father is unaffected, none of her daughters will be affected and all of her daughters will be unaffected—since they will inherit at least one normal x chromosome from their father. however, each daughter will have a 50% chance of being an unaffected carrier like her mother and a 50% chance of both x chromosomes being normal.
