how does sexual reproduction increase variation within a species
Explanation:
The process of sexual reproduction introduces variation into the species because the alleles that the mother and the father carry are mixed together in the offspring. ... A mate must be found, the egg must be fertilised by sperm, and then the offspring develop.
Answer:
because it increases the gene pool
Explanation:
So sexual reproduction requires two organisms, a male and a female, and their offspring has a combination of both of the parents, this varies the gene pool. Then the offspring creates more offspring, further varying the gene pool.

What is embedded in the phospholipid bilayer that helps in the movement of larger molecules ?
A.Channel/Transport proteins
B.Salt
C.Water
D.Fats
Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ Channel/Transport \ proteins}}[/tex]
Explanation:
The phospholipid bilayer is also known as the cell membrane. It covers cells and regulates the transport of substances. Certain ones can pass and others cannot, depending on certain factors like size and polarity.
Smaller substances tend to diffuse or move across the membrane quite easily. However, larger molecules have a much harder time. Many depend on special proteins embedded in the membrane. These are called transport proteins and they form a channel so large molecules can still move in or out of the cell.
So, salt, water, and fats do not contribute to the movement of larger molecules, but channel or transport proteins do and choice A is correct.
