This is a practice question and I was wondering if anyone knows about this. Thanks in advance
Gerome is studying survival and adaptation of a lizard species that reproduces parthenogenetically, producing females only. If significant climate change were to occur, what might be the prognosis for this species?
a) High genetic variability would favor survival of those genotypes capable of surviving in the new climate.
b) Low genetic variability may result in a major die-off.
c) The lack of a need for finding mates would enable survival under any climatic conditions.
d) Hermaphroditism would result in the ready availability of mates.
e) The lack of a need for gametes would allow rapid reproduction.
