What type of mollusk did Shana most likely find? a cephalopod because it lives on land a cephalopod because it lacks a shell a gastropod because it lives on land a gastropod because it lacks a shell

ability to bond woth oxygen

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.

this is more of a statement than a question. is there answers to go along with this, or is it opinion based?

not necessarily. higher fitness requires the organism to be reproductive successful. for example, an organism at age 10 with 15 offspring is much more fit than an organism at age 15 with only 5 offspring.
