Answers
Animals produce offspring through asexual and/or sexual reproduction. Both methods have advantages and disadvantages. Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent because the offspring are all clones of the original parent. A single individual can produce offspring asexually and large numbers of offspring can be produced quickly. In a stable or predictable environment, asexual reproduction is an effective means of reproduction because all the offspring will be adapted to that environment. In an unstable or unpredictable environment asexually-reproducing species may be at a disadvantage because all the offspring are genetically identical and may not have the genetic variation to survive in new or different conditions. On the other hand, the rapid rates of asexual reproduction may allow for a speedy response to environmental changes if individuals have mutations. An additional advantage of asexual reproduction is that colonization of new habitats may be easier when an individual does not need to find a mate to reproduce.
Answer:
Given below is the answer
Explanation:
Animals can reproduce sexually or asexually to generate progeny. Both approaches have benefits and drawbacks. Asexual reproduction creates clones of the original parent, which results in kids that are genetically identical to the parent. Asexual reproduction allows for the rapid production of vast numbers of children by a single individual. Asexual reproduction is a successful method of reproduction in a stable or predictable environment since all the children will be adapted to that environment. Asexually reproducing organisms may be at a disadvantage in an unstable or unpredictable environment since all of the progeny are genetically similar and might not have the genetic variety to survive in new or changing settings. However, the quick rates of asexual reproduction might enable a prompt reaction.
