The authors describe an important experiment in which scientists showed strong support for the hypothesis that bdelloid rotifers have reproduced asexually for millions of years. Briefly describe the results from their experiment that supported this conclusion

Bdelloid rotifers are small metazoans, a class of very small invertebrates that can visible through a microscope only. They reproduce asexually and found in temporary or permanent freshwater.

Bdelloid rotifers population shows only females in this population and Males not found yet, which suggests that females asexually produce identical progeny. The process called parthenogenesis. The organisms that sexually produced their DNA has two copies of the genome that may or may not be identical but in case of asexual reproduction, there are always identical copies produce.

dna damages cause changes in the structure of the genetic material and prevents the replication mechanism from functioning and performing properly. dna damage and mutation have different biological consequences. while most dna damages can undergo dna repair, such repair is not 100% efficient.
