A factor that tends to cause species to change can be one of two things. It can be either climate change or an invasive species.

What advantages does a species that produces sexually have over a species that reproduces asexually?

Sexual reproduction allows for changes in the lifeforms due to genetic mixing and evolution. Asexual reproduction tends to produce exact copies of the single original species with only a rare change to the genes, usually caused by radiation damage, cosmic rays and natural background radiation being two of the main sources.


What happens to the proportion of the beneficial traits in a species over time according to the theory of evolution?

The ratio of beneficial traits tends to increase until each member of the species possesses the trait, at which point the trait is fixed.


What is the role of gene flow in speciation?

None. Gene flow between two groups of the same population tends to stabilize alleles, or one way gene flow tends to not change allele frequency enough for speciation. The only speciation driver we know of is natural selection working on two allopatic species separately. Different populations, due to this geographic separation, can speciated, but gene flow between them, whatever the direction, will tend to bring things to a stability, or to a situation that is not enough for speciation.


Is survival in the genes?

The process of evolution tends to produce organisms whose genes contribute to the survival of the organism. If an organism has genes which impede or prevent survival, then the organism is less likely to survive. A species with such genetics would die out.


Which type of natural selection tends to prevent evolution?

I would suppose stabilizing selection could do that. Selecting for the mean morphology and behavior would be somewhat in stasis if the environment did not change.

How does reactive power change the Power Factor?

Power Factor is the relationship between the phase of the current and voltage which are each sine waves. When there is an inductance in a circuit the AC current waveform tends to lag the voltage. This causes a phase difference which reduces the Power Factor from a maximum of one to something less.

A triangle with a vertex at A(4 -8) is dilated so that A' has coordinates (-3 6). The scale factor used was?

It depends where the centre of enlargement (dilation) was; it can be any value.As all you have given us is the change in the coordinate of the A vertex, so all we can conclude is that the centre of enlargement is somewhere along the line y + 2x = 0.Examples:If the centre is at (3, -6) then the scale factor is -6If the centre is at (0.5, -1) then the scale factor is -1If the centre is at (0, 0) then the scale factor is -3/4If the centre is at (-3, 6) then the scale factor is 0If the centre is at (-4, 8) then the scale factor is 1/8If the centre is at (-10, 20) then the scale factor is 1/2If the centre is at (11, -22) then the scale factor is 2If the centre is at (1.4, -2.8) then the scale factor is 6(As the centre tends towards ±∞ the scale factor tends towards 1 [from below towards -∞, from above towards +∞].)

Yes. Soy is not easily digested by rabbits and tends to cause blockage in their intestines. It should be avoided.
