Question

Bacteria are organisms that reproduce asexually. asexual reproduction can be an advantage to bacteria if it enables them to:

(a)use more cellular energy to reproduce
(b)grow larger populations more quickly
(c)from populations with more genetic variation
(d)produce more tetrads during reproduction

Answer 1

B)
Cause
-using more energy is not a good thing
-no genetic variation without 2 parents to contribute
-Meiosis provides the variation that sexual reproduction requires, creates tetrads. So this is correct but not really an advantage
