Question

Which statement is true regarding how bacteria and animals handle rates of mutation to increase genetic variation?

Animals have high mutation rates, while bacteria use conjunction to compensate for low mutation rates.

Bacteria have high mutation rates, while animals use secual reproduction to compensate for low mutation rates.

To componsate for low mutation rates, animals use sexual reproducton, while bacteria use large rapidly producing populations.

To compensate for low mutation rates, both bacteria and animals use crossing over

Answer 3

I would say B.

C seems reasonable, but if I remember correctly the bacterial DNA polymerase is more error-prone than the eukaryotic one, and bacterial cells divide more often meaning DNA replication occurs more often.

Answer 4

Okay, thank you @matt101 :D
