What are the advantages and disadvantages of both asexual and sexual reproduction
Answers
Answer:
asexual- Energy is not required to find a mate. Offspring are genetic clones. A negative mutation can make asexually produced organisms susceptible to disease and can destroy large numbers of offspring. Some methods of asexual reproduction produce offspring that are close together and compete for food and space.
Explanation:
During sexual reproduction the genetic material of two individuals is combined to produce genetically diverse offspring that differ from their parents.
I hope it will help you thanks
Answer:
The advantages of sexual reproduction:
produces genetic variation in the offspring
the species can adapt to new environments due to variation, which gives them a survival advantage
a disease is less likely to affect all the individuals in a population
Explanation:
In asexual reproduction there is only one parent. The offspring are clones of the parent and each other. Bacteria, such as E. coli, reproduce asexually. An advantage of this is that they can produce many bacteria very quickly. A disadvantage is that all of the bacteria are genetically identical
