question 34

Multiple Choice

You have isolated DNA from cells in different stages of meiosis within one species.You have determined the relative DNA content for each type,and plotted the results on the graph shown below.Refer to the graph to answer the following questions.

-Which statement best represents the connection between reproduction and evolution?

• A)Plants that use sexual reproduction are rare since this type of reproduction in plants does not contribute to genetic diversity.
• B)In order to increase genetic diversity for evolution in sexually reproducing organisms, mutations must occur in the zygote after fertilization.
• C)Since prokaryotic organisms reproduce asexually, there is no mechanism for them to add genetic diversity for evolution.
• D)Sexual reproduction increases genetic variation because random mutations can be shuffled between organisms.
• E)The type of reproduction does not impact evolution.
