Aspecies of mud snail was studied for five years. during this time, scientists observed the season in which they mated, the number of offspring they produced, and the results of such stressors as drought, famine, and lack of mates. which question were the scientists most likely studying?

The correct answer is to find if mud snails reproduce sexually and sexually.

Explanation:

the characteristics in this study involve different parameters such as the number of offspring, the mating season, the effect of different environmental stress conditions and absence of mates. All the parameters studied here can affect only asexual reproduction. But presence or absence of mates is a parameter that consider to be studied to finding of the mode of reproduction because its necessary for sexual reproduction.

thus, the correct answer is to find if mud snails reproduce sexually and sexually.

This would be in fact differentiation. differentiation is the process changing less specialized cells to more specialized. in differentiation cells develop to possess a more distinct form and function.completely differentiated cells cannot further differentiate to any other type of the cells. adult skin cells have their own function and structure so they are  completely differentiated.
