Number 1:
Two scientists are debating how to classify a new animal species that they have discovered. They observe that the animal is capable of producing sperm.
A. This animal produces offspring that are genetically different from itself.
B. This animal produces offspring that are genetically identical to itself.
C. This animal’s sperm will join with spores to produce offspring.
D. This animal’s sperm will undergo binary fission to produce offspring.
Number 2:
A scientist is studying two types of worms. Worm X has DNA identical to its parent. Worm Y has a combination of DNA from two parents. The scientist determines that one of the worms has a survival advantage over the other worm.
A. Worm X reproduces asexually, which gives it genetic variation.
B. Worm Y reproduces sexually, which gives it genetic variation.
C. Worm Y reproduces asexually, which gives it more DNA.
D. Worm X reproduces sexually, which gives it more DNA.

Answer 1

#1
The correct answer is A.)

Because the animal has sperm that means that the offspring will be different. This is because at conception, the two parents sex cells combine their DNA to make a new creature.

#2
The correct answer is B.)

Genetic variation produces different offspring, and some are more adapted to others. The ones that survive pass on their genes. This is know as "Survival of the Fittest". Asexually organisms are exactly like their parents, so if they have any type of genetic defaults, then their offspring will get them too.
