Question



D Question 9 1 pts Organisms that are haploid and reproduce by asexual means may have O A disadvantage because they lack half the chromosomes of diploid individuals O An evolutionary advantage because mutations are immediately expressed rather than hidden by a normal allele on the homologous chromosome O Little chance of survival because they cannot undergo binary fission O No advantages nor disadvantages because as asexual organisms, there will be no variation in any case O To reproduce sexually every other generation to restore the diploid number

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

No advantages nor disadvantages because as sexual organisms, there will be no variation in any case

Explanation:

During sexual reproduction, crossing over takes place so as variations will happen. But in haploids due to asexual reproduction, there will be no variations.
