Select the statement(s) that are accurate about sexual reproduction through meiosis.
Sexual reproduction through meiosis requires time and energy to find a mate.
Organisms created through meiosis and sexual reproduction are genetically identical to one another.
Only favorable traits are passed on through sexual reproduction through meiosis.
Genetically variable organisms are better able to adapt to a changing environment.
Sexual reproduction through meiosis occurs quickly and produces large quantities of offspring.
The accurate statement about sexual reproduction through meiosis is:
– Genetically variable organisms are better able to adapt to a changing environment.
Explanation:
Sexual reproduction introduces genetic diversity through the combination of genetic material from two parents, which can help offspring better adapt to different environments. The other statements are inaccurate:
– Finding a mate does require time and energy.
– Organisms created through meiosis are genetically diverse, not identical.
– Not only favorable traits are passed on; all traits can be inherited.
– Meiosis takes time and does not produce large quantities of offspring in the same way asexual reproduction does.
