Organisms are able to reproduce either sexually or asexually. which of the following statements is true of these reproductive processes? a. the sorting of genes during asexual reproduction results in a large amount of genetic variation. b. the sorting of genes during sexual reproduction results in a large amount of genetic variation. c. during every cell division in sexual reproduction, the number of chromosomes is reduced by half. d. during every cell division in asexual reproduction, the number of chromosomes is reduced by half.

Suppose that on a small island off the coast of scotland, 32 percent of the population has blue eyes, which means that these individuals must be homozygous for the blue eye color gene (bb). the only other eye color found on the island is brown, and individuals that are homozygous for the brown eye color gene (bb) or heterozygous (bb) will have brown eyes because brown is the dominant gene. assume this population is in hardy-weinberg equilibrium. if 100 babies are born next year, how many of these would you expect to have brown eyes and be heterozygous? a. 58 b. 49 c. 29 d. 43
