Question

below is a table of organisms information on their characteristics. based on the information in the table which organism is likely to produce Offspring with the greatest genetic diversity​

Answer 1

Spruce

Step-by-step explanation:

Took the test and got it right. Also Spruce is the only organism that produces sexually, therefor since only during sexual reproduction is there great genetic diversity, that is the answer. Think of Asexual reproduction as more of copy and pasting, and sexual reproduction as more so, copying something from memory lol.

Answer 2

The right answer is 3. Spruce.

Sexual reproduction has the advantage of producing genetic diversity in the offspring (as we see it for example in humans) due to the crossing of two gametes of two different individuals as well as the genetic recombination that occur before fertilization.

Of the four propoitions, only one reproduces sexually, and that is the spruce.

The spruce is part of the genus Picea which includes conifers comprising about fifty species.
