04. In laboratory studies, organisms from group A produce offspring with subtle differences as compared to the parents. Organisms from group B produce offspring that are identical to the parents, and organisms from group C produce offspring with marked differences as compared to the parents. Which group reproduces asexually? Which reproduces sexually? Which group is experiencing mutations?
05. A biologist studies two organisms from the same family. She then studies two organisms from the same genus in that family. In which case do you expect the most similarity between organisms?
