[选择] Parthenogenesis Competition Genetic drift Meiosis Sexual reproduction Adaptation Gene flow is a great adaptive strategy for stable environments, while [选择] meiosis competition sexual reproduction asexual reproduction recombination adaptation parthenogenesis is a better adaptive strategy for dynamic environments.  This is because stable environments allow for [选择] mutations lower population adaptation gene flow less genetic diversity evolution more genetic diversity because a species is already well-adapted.  But dynamic environments require [选择] greater genetic diversity mutations parthenogenesis evolution adaptation mitosis less genetic diversity to allow for faster [选择] population decrease adaptation sexual reproduction mutations natural selection population increase gene flow to changing conditions.  Greater [选择] fitness reproductive success genetic diversity mutation rate extinction gene flow genetic similarity is the result of [选择] gene flow, when traits are passed down from one generation to the next the evolution of sexually reproducing species mitosis, when cellular division occurs during sexual reproduction genetic drift and genetic bottlenecking meiosis and recombination, when gametes are made .

Step-by-Step Analysis
The question presents a sequence of concepts to complete across several dropdowns about reproductive strategies and genetic diversity in relation to environmental stability. Below, I analyze each option in turn and explain why the chosen option fits and why the other ideas would be inappropriate for that particular gap. First gap: - Option chosen: parthenogenesis - Why this fits: Parthenogenesis is an asexual form of reproduction in which offspring are produced without fertilization, which can be advantageous in stable environments where the population is already well-adapted and rapid reproduction is beneficial without the need to generate genetic diversity. - Why alternative options don’t fit here: Sexual reproduction, meiosis, recombination, or gene flow would introduce genetic variation, which is less favored in consistently stable environments where the existing genotype suffices. Recombination is specific to meiosis and would not ......Login to view full explanation
