Which example represents a disadvantage of asexual reproduction?

a)
genetic variety slowly causes hundreds of species of beetles to form from a single species.

b)
a single antibiotic is able to quickly and easily kill millions of genetically identical bacteria.

c)
millions of bacteria are quickly produced by cell division, in one afternoon in a jug of milk that has been left on the counter.
eliminate

d)
male anglerfish must live on larger females as parasitic mates, since they encounter other anglerfish so infrequently in the deep ocean.

The correct answer would be B)  A single antibiotic is able to quickly and easily kill millions of genetically identical bacteria.

Asexual reproduction results in the production of offspring which are identical to each other as well to the parent cell or organism. They are termed as clones.

Lack of genetic diversity makes them prone to the extinction.

As they all have identical genetic material, they become prone to same threats. For example, if one cell or organism is vulnerable to temperature change then the entire population can be extinct due to a similar change in the temperature.

Similarly, if a single antibiotic can kill one bacteria then it can kill the entire population due to their identical genome.

not too sure maybe olecranon process

hey, i believe your answer would be d. sugar ribose and the base uracil. i believe this is the answer, because rna consists of sugar ribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

your first option is incorrect, because that's dna. where it consists of sugar deoxyribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

your second option is also incorrect, this is because sugar deoxyribose is in dna, and uracil is in rna. these two do not make sense together.

your third option being incorrect, because sugar ribose is in rna, but not the base of thymine. rna consists of uracil, not thymine.

lastly your fourth option being correct! this answer is correct, because both sugar ribose, and the base uracil are in rna! ~

answer is d. sugar ribose and the base uracil.
