From an evolutionary perspective glycolysis occurs in prokaryotes because

The answer is; prokaryotes are the earliest life forms

Glycolysis was the earliest energy harvesting pathway in early living organisms. Glycolysis does not require oxygen attribute to the early condition of the earth where its atmosphere was majorly comprised of carbon dioxide. It is only after the great oxygenation event that life evolved the oxidative phosphorylation process.

explanation:

plz give me the characteristics.

the correct answer is: b. pantala flavescens, because these organisms would have a high level of genetic variation due to sexual reproduction.  

because involves two organisms (parents) whose genetic material combines, sexual reproduction leads to genetic variation in new generations of offspring. the offspring is an unique organism, with new genome, more protected with the higher ability to adapted. this process is fundamental to evolution.
