Question

What three attributes of asexual reproduction make it less fruitful than sexual reproduction?

Answer 1

1 no variation therefore no evolution
2 less chances of fertilisation
3 no diversity of characters in offspring

Answer 2

Three attributes of asexual reproduction:

The three attributes of asexual reproduction which are less fruitful than sexual reproduction are as follows,

• Genetic diversity: As traits from two individuals are fused together it leads to the diversification in genetic pattern shown by the newly formed individual.

• Adaptation to environment is easy: As the newly produced offspring has genetic traits of two different individual, the traits or characters will help the newly formed individual in surviving the difficult environment.

• Greater variation: The outcome sexual reproduction may be either identical to one of the parent or it may differ entirely.
