Q: The protist life cycle benefits by including what forms of reproduction?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Most protists also have a complex life cycle. The life cycle of an organism is the cycle of phases it goes through until it returns to the starting phase. The protist life cycle includes both sexual and asexual reproduction. Why reproduce both ways? Each way has benefits. Asexual reproduction is fast. It allows rapid population growth when conditions are stable. Sexual reproduction increases genetic variation. This helps ensure that some organisms will survive if conditions change.

 Choices:

- asexual and biological

- atypical and sexual

- ideal and sexual

- asexual and sexual


A:
asexual and sexual
