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?

a. sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction because it reduces the rate of mutation accumulation.
b. asexual reproduction is advantageous over sexual reproduction because it allows the snails to produce more offspring.
c. sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction because it allows for snails to have increased genetic variation.
d. asexual reproduction is advantageous over sexual reproduction because it decreases the snails’ need for social interaction.

The answer is D. Asexual reproduction is advantageous over sexual reproduction because it decreases the snails’ need for social interaction.

The social interaction in the population of mud snails is the least important factor of survival regarding a type of reproduction. However, it is very important to avoid the accumulation of mutations and to increase genetic variation which sexual reproduction can provide, as well as the more offspring production provided by asexual reproduction. The latter 3 factors are necessary not for mud snails only, but for other organisms.

Muscles in the body us with a lot of things for example, if i wanted to lift a heavy box and had no muscle i would just collapse where i was because of the fact muscles hold us together. overall they are 650 muscle in the human body, all of them have different purposes and ways to keep us together. there are three types of muscle in the body skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle. skeletal muscle are attached to the bone and with movement. smooth muscle, this is found in the wall of our organs, such as our stomach, this muscle with movement   as well, without this muscle, we would only be allowed to eat small amounts. the cardiac muscle is the heart muscle and probably the most important one. these are only found in the walls of the heart and the heart pump blood to the other parts of your body. we have two different types of muscle fibers, slow twitch and fast twitch. slow twitch muscles enable long-endurance feats such as distance running. fast twitch fatigue faster but are used in powerful bursts of movements like sprinting. there are three different types of muscle contractions concentric, eccentric, isometric. concentric contraction causes muscles to shorten, thereby generating force.   eccentric contractions cause muscles to elongate in response to a greater opposing force. isometric contractions generate force without changing the length of the muscle.: //athleticquickness.com/muscle-contraction-types-part-1/
