Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Populations that respond to environmental changes with a change from asexual to sexual reproduction would be the best choice for studying the environmental factors that lead to the maintenance of sexual reproduction because they allow us to observe the factors that trigger the switch to sexual reproduction. This can provide insight into the ecological advantages of sexual reproduction in changing or unpredictable environments. Options A and B are not ideal because they do not show variability in reproductive strategies and would not allow for the study of environmental factors. Option C is also not ideal because it does not show how the environment affects the balance between sexual and asexual reproduction.
