Title: Reproduction do you agree or disagree
Post by: drake2020 on Jun 6, 2014
1. Read the following statement.  Do you agree or disagree?  Defend your decision.

When you think about sexual reproduction, it makes no sense.  After all, evolution selects for organisms that are best fit.  In a population of sexually reproducing organisms, a mutant that reproduced asexually would increase its representation more quickly than the wild type; that is, it would have a higher fitness.  So we should expect asexual reproduction to be much more widespread among eukaryotic species than it is.



2. Describe two examples of invertebrates that combine relative morphological simplicity with a feature of great structural or biochemical complexity?

Can someone help me with these two question. Please as many opinions as you have. Thank you

Trematodes are acoelomates that have effective defenses against attack by their hosts’ immune system. Cnidarians are diploblasts that produce complex, capsule-like organelles.
