Some redwood trees reproduce both sexually and asexually. once a tree reaches maturity, it can reproduce with another tree through pollination and fertilization. the tree then disperses thousands of seeds so that some of them might take root. however, a tree can also reproduce asexually. if it falls down, several smaller trees can sprout from its trunk without the need of fertilization. why is it advantageous for a redwood to reproduce sexually when it could reproduce asexually instead?

What best explains whether bromine (br) or neon (ne) is more likely to form a covalent bond? bromine forms covalent bonds because it has seven valence electrons, but neon has eight valence electrons and already fulfills the octet rule. bromine forms covalent bonds because it has many electron shells, but neon has only two electron shells and is tightly bound to its electrons. neon forms covalent bonds because it can share its valence electrons, but bromine has seven valence electrons and can gain only one more electron. neon forms covalent bonds because it has only two electron shells, but bromine has many electron shells and will lose electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule.
