advantage over the other worm.
Which statement correctly summarizes this
conclusion?
Worm X reproduces asexually, which gives it
genetic variation
Worm Y reproduces sexually, which gives it genetic
variation
Worm Y reproduces asexually, which gives it more
DNA.

Answer 2

2. Worm Y reproduces sexually, which gives it genetic variation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Worm Y was born sexually from two parents meaning it has DNA from both parents giving it a better chance at surviving. Worm X was born asexually giving it identical DNA to its parent. Worm X is only going to be able to live in one habitat.
