What type of traits does natural selction act on?
Heritable traits that confer some survival or reproductive advantage, or natural selection will cull traits that confer the opposite to survival and reproductive advantage. So, the individual organisms, or his genes, are selected and these alleles increase in frequency in populations and evolution takes place.
What advantage would branched sporophytes provide?
The advantage is that it increases the number of reproductive structures that a plant may have and therefore increase the number of spores/seeds that can be produce.
What reproductive advantage is conferred by the feline uterine type?
the difference between the cat and a feline are that ones big ad the other are small.
What are the advantages or disadvantages of conjugation?
Advantage: No new cells but genes are combined - an increase of genetic diversity, therefore good for evolution!! Two new organisms are genetically identical and share the common ways to survive in the same environment which can be an advantage or disadvantage depending on the types of characteristics the organism had.
What is one major benefit makes sexual reproduction worthwhile?
The main benefit of reproduction is to pass your genes to your grandchildren. Evolution depends on reproductive success. The goal is to successfully reproduce, and if possible do it better than other members of the same species, a second generation of relatives. Over time a very small reproductive advantage can produce a large change in members of a species.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of genetically modified foods?
One of the disadvantages of the genetically modified foods is that it allows animal products in plants which could raise issues for those with dietary restrictions like the vegans. The advantage of the genetically modified foods is that they can increase the crop yield in a very small acreage.

Why is the ability of an insect to remove another insect's sperm packet from the reproductive tracts of a female an advantage?
When a male insect removes a rival's sperm packet from a female, he prevents his rival from producing progeny (babies), and gains the reproductive advantage by guaranteeing that all eggs produced by the female will be fertilized with his sperm.

The advantage is that it increases the number of reproductive structures that a plant may have and therefore increase the number of spores/seeds that can be produce.
