Answer 2

@Sam3737 can you help?

Answer 3

is this biology?

Answer 4

yeah

Answer 5

i don't know. must've not got to this part yet I'm in biology

Answer 6

@Luigi0210

Answer 7

wouldn't it be Choanozoa?

Answer 8

MMM.. that's what I was thinking but it seem like that would make the question too easy

Answer 9

@InYourHead

Answer 10

I'm looking at the first picture that you posted.

There are different types of organisms here. Plants, Animals, and Fungi.

Let me rephrase the question:
Are animals more closely related to Plants? Or Fungi?

Answer 11

Fungi

Answer 12

Right. You know why?

I'll give you one reason: Fungi and Animals are both Heterotrophs.

That means that they can't make their own food, like plants do.
They need to get their food from outside sources.

Answer 13

oh that makes sense!

Answer 14

We humans are Animals, for example.

We can't make our own food.
We need to eat other plants and animals.

Answer 15

Okay.

So now I'm looking at your second picture.

There are two kinds of reproduction:

1. Sexual
2. Asexual

Do you know the difference?

Answer 16

yes asexual is by itself right?

Answer 17

Yes.

When something reproduces Asexually, by itself,
its child looks JUST LIKE the parent. It's IDENTICAL to the parent.

Does that make sense ?

Answer 18

yup!

Answer 19

Now, Sexual reproduction is different.

For example, our parents reproduced us, Sexually.

We don't look EXACTLY like our parents, do we?

Answer 20

no

Answer 21

When organisms reproduce ASEXUALLY,
the child is IDENTICAL to the parent.

When organisms reproduce SEXUALLY,
the offspring are a little DIFFERENT from the parent.

Answer 22

Now let me tell you a very simple, very important fact:

"Genetic diversity" means "many different genes."

Answer 23

oh ok

Answer 24

Need me to rephrase anything so far?

Answer 25

nope I got it :)

Answer 26

Okay.

So let's take a look at your 2nd picture. The fill in the blank.

"Most grass plants in the school yard have VERY LITTLE genetic diversity."

Answer 27

VERY LITTLE genetic diversity.

Again, "genetic diversity" means "many different genes."

What does "very little genetic diversity" mean?

Answer 28

not many genes

Answer 29

Right.

Most of the grass plants looked alike.

It means that they were pretty much IDENTICAL to their parents.

So, which kind of reproduction did the grass plants use?
Sexual? Or Asexual?

Answer 30

ASEXUAL!!

Answer 31

Right. Wonderful.

Answer 32

Here's another very important fact that might help you in the future:

SEXUAL reproduction creates GENETIC DIVERSITY.

ASEXUAL reproduction DOES NOT create genetic diversity.

Answer 33

thank you so much ! You make everything easy to understand

Answer 34

ok I got it ;)!

Answer 35

No problem. It's important to me that everything is clear to you.
