Risks

Chances of aids
And other 2 diseases may come to one

Unwanted birth of a baby...

Especially when not using condoms etc

Asexual reproduction generates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent. Insexual reproduction, two parents contribute genetic information to produce unique offspring

Asexual Reproduction versus Sexual Reproduction comparison chartAsexual ReproductionSexual ReproductionNumber of organisms involvedOne parent neededTwo parents are required to mate

Cell divisionCells divide by Fission, budding , or regenerationCells divide by MeiosisTypesBudding, vegetative reproduction, fragmentation, spore formationSyngamy and conjugationAdvantagesTime Efficient; no need to search for mate, requires less energyVariation, Unique., organism is more protectedDisadvantagesNo variation - if the parent has a genetic disease, offspring does too.Requires two organisms, requires more energyEvolutionThere is very little chance of variation with asexual reproduction. Mutations in DNA can still occur but not nearly as frequently as in sexual reproduction.Sexual reproduction leads to genetic variation in new generations of offspring. This is fundamental to evolution.

ymr28: pls tell about asexual too
