mitchel and emma are senior students that share a biology class. their high school has a section on school property that has been used to grow various plants over the years. each student is required to select a plant for their final project. the pictures show some of the plants that are grown on school property. the tulips, irises, and daffodils reproduce asexually. the snapdragons and roses reproduce sexually.
emma decides to study the tulips because they reproduce asexually. which advantages do the tulips have over the snapdragons? select all that apply.
a. a faster reproduction
b. better able to adapt
c. greater variation in traits
d. require only one parent
e. no chance for mutations

Explanation:

Asexual reproduction in plants like tulips is quicker as it doesn't involve complex processes of sexual reproduction. It only requires one parent. Organisms that reproduce sexually have better adaptability and greater variation in traits due to genetic recombination. Mutations can occur in both sexual and asexual reproduction.

Answer:

A. A faster reproduction
D. require only one parent
