part a:
Process 1 involves one parent, organism 1. So, the offspring produced through process 1 will be genetically identical to organism 1. Process 2 involves organism 1 and organism 2, so the offspring will have genes from both of them. These offspring will be genetically different from organism 1.
part b:
Yes, process 1 has an advantage over process 2 for the planarian worm. Process 1 requires only one parent. If the planarian can’t find a mate, the life cycle will continue because it can still reproduce.
part c:
Yes, genetic variation is higher in offspring generated through process 2. Process 1 produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. So, the same characteristics pass from generation to generation. In process 2, the offspring inherits traits from both parents, so a wider variety of characteristics passes from generation to generation.
part d:
It’s similar to process 2 because it involves two parents, which in this case are flowers.
soooooo can i get brainliest now please :)
