Students are tasked with evaluating reproductive strategies of a worm species in a stable habitat they have lived in for thousands of years. Which
argument BEST matches the advantages and disadvantages of the different strategies
for their environment?
A. Sexual reproduction is best in this scenario, It would provide genetic diversity for
the worms allowing them to attract mates better
B. Sexual reproduction is best in this scenario, It would provide no genetic diversity
for the worms allowing them to grow larger
C. Asexual reproduction is best in this scenario, since they would need new traits in
the unstable habitat and would not need to use energy to migrate to a new
habitat
D. Asexual reproduction is best in this scenario, since they do not need new traits in
the stable habitat and would not need to use energy finding a mate
