"the best explanation for all of these offspring being female is that
(1)there is not enough food to support male aphids
(2)asexual reproduction produces offspring with many mutations
(3)only the females are able to feed on the sap of the plants
(4)asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent"

Aphids are organisms depicted in the picture that are asexual and produce only female offspring. This is due to the fact that asexual reproduction only produces offspring genetically identical to the parent and since the parent was female the offspring are too.

This is what i found on google“ the monomers combine with each other via covalent bonds to form larger molecules known as polymers. in doing so, monomers release water molecules as byproducts. this type of reaction is known as dehydration synthesis, which means “to put together while losing water. in the process, a water molecule is formed.” i hope this you
