Detailed explanation-1: -The advantages of asexual reproduction include: the population can increase rapidly when the conditions are favourable. only one parent is needed. it is more time and energy efficient as you don’t need a mate.
Detailed explanation-2: -With asexual reproduction you get two times as many offspring and two times as many genes into the population."
Detailed explanation-3: -Scientists who study how organisms reproduce know that asexual reproduction is more efficient-for one thing, it’s about twice as fast as sexual reproduction, since every offspring can produce more.
Detailed explanation-4: -Features of Asexual Reproduction Only one parent is involved. The process occurs in very less time. The offsprings produced are exact copies of the parent, there is no variation. The growth of the offspring is rapid.
Detailed explanation-5: -Sexual mode of reproduction is considered to be better than the asexual mode of reproduction. This is because, in asexual reproduction, the only single parent gives rise to another offspring which is exactly similar to the parent as it passes its genetic material to the offspring.
