### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Asexual Reproduction**: - Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction where a single organism can reproduce without the need for a mate. Jellyfish reproduce asexually, allowing them to produce offspring independently. 2. **Identifying Advantages**: - **Advantage 1**: Increased Population Density - Asexual reproduction allows jellyfish to reproduce rapidly. Since they do not require a mate, a single jellyfish can divide and produce multiple offspring, leading to a quick increase in population density, especially beneficial in environments where their numbers are low. ...

When two sets of progressive wave trains of the same type, having same amplitude an same time period, travelling with same speed along the same straight line in opposite directions superimpose, a new set of waves are formed. These are called stationary waves or standing waves. The resultant waves do not propagate in any direction, nor there is any transfer of energy in the medium. Read the above passage and answer the following questions: (i) Stationary waves are characterised by nodes and antinodes. What are these points ? (ii) What is the total energy associated with a stationary wave ? What values of life do you learn from this ?
