The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the factors that determine the type of reproduction adopted by an organism, we can break it down into the following steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Reproduction Types**: - There are two main types of reproduction: sexual and asexual. The choice between these types depends on various factors. 2. **Identifying Key Factors**: - The type of reproduction adopted by an organism depends on three main factors: - **Habitat**: The environment where the organism lives. - **Physiology**: The biological functions and processes of the organism. - **Genetic Makeup**: The genetic characteristics that influence reproduction. 3. **Role of Habitat**: - The habitat can influence whether an organism engages in sexual or asexual reproduction. - For example, if the habitat promotes conditions for mating and cross-fertilization, sexual reproduction is favored. Conversely, if conditions favor self-pollination or restrict mating, asexual reproduction is more likely. 4. **Role of Physiology**: - The physiological aspects, such as the timing of the maturation of sex organs, also play a crucial role. - If male and female sex organs mature at different times, it may lead to parthenogenesis (a form of asexual reproduction). If they mature simultaneously, sexual reproduction is more likely. 5. **Role of Genetic Makeup**: - The genetic composition of an organism influences its reproductive strategy. - Somatic cells typically favor asexual reproduction, while germ cells are involved in sexual reproduction. 6. **Conclusion**: - Based on the above factors, the type of reproduction adopted by an organism is determined by its habitat, physiology, and genetic makeup. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that the type of reproduction depends on the organism's habitat, physiology, and genetic makeup. ### Final Answer: The type of reproduction adopted by an organism depends on its habitat, physiology, and genetic makeup. ---
