There is no mating or mixing of genetics in asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction results in a clone of the parent; the offspring has identical DNA as the parent. There is usually no variation from generation to generation in a species population that relies on asexual reproduction.

One way for an asexually reproducing species to get some diversity is through mutations at the DNA level. If there is a mistake in mitosis or the copying of the DNA, then that mistake will be passed down to the offspring, thereby possibly changing its traits. Some mutations do not change the phenotype, however, so not all mutations in asexual reproduction result in variations in the offspring.​

Q6.5. What does the carrying capacity for moose on the island primarily depend on?
zzz [600]

Answer:

d. all of the above

Explanation:

In this frame of reference, carrying capacity refers to how big a specific species can get before survival becomes difficult due to a lack of resources. That being said the carrying capacity in any environment depends on having sufficient food and shelter for the current species population and the amount of predators in the area. This last one greatly affects the carrying capacity as the more predators present means the less of the targeted species will survive.

What is a triacylglycerol ? Discuss the advantages of organisms having triacylglycerol as energy storage molecule?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Triacylglycerols are acylglycerols with three fatty acid molecules, generally long chain, which can be the same or different; we speak of simple triacylglycerols when there is the same fatty acid in all three glycerol positions, but most are mixed triacylglycerols, with at least two different fatty acids. The properties of triacylglycerols will depend on the type of fatty acids they contain.

Most of the fats and oils of both animal origin (tallow, butter) and vegetable (olive, corn, sunflower, palm, and coconut oils) are formed almost exclusively by triacylglycerols.

Physiologically, triacylglycerols are an important energy reserve. In most eukaryotic cells, triacylglycerols are stored in the cytosol as microscopic fat droplets. In vertebrates there are specialized cells in the storage of fat, adipocytes. In humans, the presence of fatty tissue under the skin, in the abdominal cavity and in the mammary gland stands out.
