A species of mud snail was studied for five years. During this time, scientists observed the season in which they mated, the number of offspring they produced, and the results of such stressors as drought, famine, and lack of mates. Which question were the scientists most likely studying?



Answer :

"Are Mud Snails able to reproduce both asexually and sexually?"

Answer:

The correct answer is to find if mud snails reproduce sexually and sexually.

Explanation:

the characteristics in this study involve different parameters such as the number of offspring, the mating season, the effect of different environmental stress conditions and absence of mates. All the parameters studied here can affect only asexual reproduction. But presence or absence of mates is a parameter that consider to be studied to finding of the mode of reproduction because its necessary for sexual reproduction.

thus, the correct answer is to find if mud snails reproduce sexually and sexually.
