Two different species of protists living in a tide pool. Species A reproduces both sexually and asexually, and Species B reproduce only asexually. The pool gradually becomes infested with disease-causing viruses. Which species are more likely to survive in the changing environment

Respuesta :

The species that more likely will survive in the changing environment is species A. Sexual reproduction increases genetic variation.

Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that increases genetic variation, which is a prerequisite for evolution to occur.

Sexual reproduction increases genetic variation through the independent assortment of chromosomes and crossing over of the resulting meiotic cells.

The independent assortment during Anaphase I (Meiosis I) refers to the random distribution of homologous chromosomes in daughter cells.

Crossing over is the interchange of genetic material between non-sisters chromatids during Prophase I (Meiosis I).
