Question

The number of taxa exhibiting asexual
reproduction is drastically reduced in higher
plants (angiosperms) and higher animals
(vertebrates) as compared with lower groups
of plants and animals. Analyse the possible
reasons for this situation.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The higher plants that are the angiosperms, and the higher animals that are the vertebrates have complex structural organisation, this allows them to use sexual mode of reproductions.  

Explanation:

It permits them to have:  

1. Naturally variable offspring are produced.  

2. They have more superior survival and adaptation capability than those which are produced asexually.  

Lower plants and animals do not have these variations as they produce by asexual reproduction.

Answer 2

Hey User!

Here's your answer!

• Reproduction : A biological process in which an organism gives rise to young ones ( offsprings ) similiar to itself.

• It is of two types : Asexual and Sexual Reproduction.

• Asexual Reproduction : Uniparental, offsprings are exact copies of their parents, clones.

• Sexual Reproduction : Biparental, formation of gametes, offsprings are not identical to the parents.

Answer : Asexual method is the common method of reproduction I organisms that have simple organisation like algae and fungi. Since asexual reproduction helps in producing offsprings identical to their parents, and thus no new organism with different features is formed and due to the changing habitat, asexual reproduction is not favourable because it lacks adaptive capability.

Hope it helps!
