4. Why is sexual reproduction more likely to increase the genetic variation in a species?
A. It allows traits to be copied directly from one parent.
B. It produces fewer offspring, so mutations happen more often.
C. It involves combining genetic material from two different parents.
D. It only occurs in multicellular organisms.
C. It involves combining genetic material from two different parents.

True or False: Both plant and animal cells have a nucleus.
True
400
Which organelle is the site of protein synthesis?
Ribosomes

Is this an animal or plant cell? Explain.
This is a plant cell because the chloroplast organelle is present.
