There are 3 organisms a scientist is comparing to see chances of extinction. Use the information below to determine why C might have a better chance of survival then B AND why species A could have the best chance of survival.
A- Asexual reproduction every 2 days for 2 offspring
B- Sexual reproduction every 2 years for 4 offspring
C- Sexual reproduction every year for 20 offspring
C produces more offspring more frequently then B so will be able to produce a larger population.
A could have the best chance because it can reproduce at the fastest rate.

Scientists are interested in studying the effects of a mother’s alcohol consumption on the brain development of the fetus during pregnancy. In order to collect data, scientists typically use newborn rats because the rats’ brain development after birth is roughly equivalent to that of a human fetus during the third trimester (late in pregnancy). How would the alcohol drank by the mother be able to affect the fetus. Explain your answer
Alcohol enters the mother's blood through diffusion which will then be able to diffuse into the placenta and circulate around the fetus affecting brain development.
