The development of ______organisms that reproduce sexually and have cells that contain
Nuclei, may have increased dramatically the rate of evolutionary change.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eukaryotes, organisms that reproduce sexually and have cells that contain Nuclei, have more genetic variation due to the mixing of genetic material during sexual reproduction. This increased genetic variation may have led to a faster rate of evolutionary change. Prokaryotes, on the other hand, reproduce asexually and have a slower rate of mutation and evolutionary change. Chert and stromatolites are types of sedimentary rocks and trilobites are extinct arthropods that are not relevant to the development of eukaryotes.
