Why do some species reproduce sexually and others asexually?

List two new traits (structural or behavioral) that each new species of rat might demonstrate as it adapts to the conditions on two of the four islands. choose only two islands that are described in the lesson. record the island latter and the major habitat feature of the island. then list two new traits each rat subspecies might demonstrate in order to survive the habitat on that island. note: new traits should be unique to that island and be in response to that island’s habitat feature. i cannot remember islands that were names in the lesson so only answer if you have done the lesson (5.13 life science 7b) choose 2 of the islands and describe a structural and a behavioral trait for a rat on each island so 4 total answers, 2 different structurals and 2 different behaviorals, one for each rat for each island

Read the following scenario to answer the following question. in some zoos, rare crosses between a male lion and a female tiger have produced hybrid offspring called "ligers." male ligers are sterile but some female ligers are fertile. in the wild, lion and tiger ranges do not naturally overlap, making such a cross unlikely. furthermore, the solitary behavior of tigers and the social organizations of lions create behavioral differences. applying the biological species concept, the sterility of ligers reveals that a. lions are probably a subspecies of tigers b. tigers and lions are the same species c. a new species called "ligers" is forming d. tigers and lions are separate species

Awoman whose sister tested positive for a specific mutation in the brca1 gene, which increases the risk for breast and ovarian cancer, is found not to have that mutation but does have a mutation of unknown significance near the known mutation site. how should this woman be counseled? select one: a. she should be informed that her risk for breast cancer is greater than the general population but not as great as her sister’s risk. b. she should be informed that because she does not have the mutation, her risk for breast cancer is not greater than that of the general population. c. she should be informed of her gene mutation status and be presented with all the available prophylaxis options and reconstruction options. d. she should be informed that she does not have the specific mutation but that because another mutation is present she should be vigilant about screening
