Answer 2

$\huge{\boxed{\rm{\red{Answer}}}}$

Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which a new offspring is produced by a single parent. The new individuals produced are genetically and physically identical to each other, i.e., they are the clones of their parent.

$\huge\underline{\rm{\blue{Advantages:}}}$

• Mates not required.

• The process of reproduction is rapid.

• An enormous number of organisms can be produced in very less time.

• Positive genetic influences pass on to successive generations.

• It occurs in various environments.

$\huge\underline{\rm{\blue{Disadvantages:}}}$

• Lack of diversity. Since the offsprings are genetically identical to the parent they are more susceptible to the same diseases and nutrient deficiencies as the parent. All the negative mutations persist for generations.

• Since only one organism is involved, the diversity among the organisms is limited.

• They are unable to adapt to the changing environment.

• A single change in the environment would eliminate the entire species.
