Question

1. what type of reproduction creates genetic diversity?

a) sexual reproduction
b) asexual reproduction
c) budding
d) cloning

1. the biosphere is best described as:

a) the study of animals only
b) the upper atmosphere
c) the part of earth where life exists
d) the rocky layer of earth

Explanation:

For the first question: Sexual reproduction involves the combination of genetic material from two parents, leading to genetic diversity. Asexual reproduction (like budding and cloning) produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.
For the second question: The biosphere is defined as the part of Earth where life exists. The study of animals only is zoology. The upper atmosphere is not the biosphere. The rocky layer of Earth is the lithosphere.

Answer:

1. A. Sexual reproduction
2. C. The part of Earth where life exists
