7569646153 | p-value | indicates whether or not the difference is significant or not | 35 | |
7569653647 | p > 0.05 | accept the null hypothesis, this means the difference is small between the values therefore there is a GREATER probability that the difference is due to chance and sampling errors | 36 | |
7569660522 | p < 0.05 0.01 < p < 0.05 p < 0.05 | reject the null hypothesis, this means the difference is big between the values therefore there is a SMALLER probability that the difference is due to chance and sampling errors | 37 | |

7571628260 | the major contribution of sex to evolution is that | it provides a method to increase genetic variation | 64 | |
7571635707 | why is sexual reproduction advantageous over asexual reproduction | energetically, sexual reproduction is more costly, but sexual reproduction leads to different combinations of alleles that could provide adaptability in an environment | 65 | |
