Ans: False
How does the Red Queen hypothesis explain a fitness benefit of sexual
reproduction?
-Sexually reproducing organisms carefully choose their partners, so
only the fittest individuals mate and produce high quality offspring.
-Offspring produced by sexual reproduction are less likely to inherit
rare genetic disorders than offspring produced by asexual
reproduction.
-Species that use sexual reproduction live longer and produce more
offspring than species that reproduce asexually.
-Sexual reproduction produces genetic variation that allows some
offspring to survive evolving parasites.
Ans: -Sexual reproduction produces genetic variation that
allows some offspring to survive evolving parasites.
Some species of freshwater snails can reproduce both sexually and
asexually, but asexual reproduction yields more offspring. Identify the
condition that favors sexual reproduction.
