Scientists studied reproduction in the new zealand mud snail to answer the question, “are there benefits to reproducing sexually or asexually? ” which of these hypotheses would least likely aid the scientists as they worked to answer the question? sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction because it reduces the rate of mutation accumulation. asexual reproduction is advantageous over sexual reproduction because it allows the snails to produce more offspring. sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction because it allows for snails to have increased genetic variation. asexual reproduction is advantageous over sexual reproduction because it decreases the snails’ need for social interaction.

Answer

The Hypothesis that would least aid Scientists is Asexual reproduction is advantageous over sexual reproduction because it allows the snail to produce more offspring.

Explanation

Sexual reproduction helps to avoid harmful mutations thus making organisms reproduced sexually to be healthier overtime. Sexual reproduction utilizes the meiosis process to double its DNA, shuffling  the genes then giving this shuffled DNA to the four cells to form a combination of genes different from the parents.

1. the energy lost to disorder metabolism     -entropy

2. related to or possessing motion potential     -kinetic

3. all of the chemical reactions in an organism required for maintenance of the processes of life entropy     -metabolism

4. possible; ability to go into action or perform work kinetic     -potential

5. the study of energy and its transformations thermodynamics     -thermodynamics
