AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: This statement is false. Asexually reproducing organisms, although lacking in the typical events leading to more significant genetic variation seen in sexual reproduction, do have mechanism for generating genetic diversity within a population.

Detailed explanation-2: -Evolution can happen over time. When asexual organisms evolve, they typically do so very quickly after a sudden mutation and do not require multiple generations to accumulate adaptations as do sexually reproducing populations.

Detailed explanation-3: -The given statement is True. Asexual reproduction is one of the reproductive process of passing genetic material from one generation to the next generation. The resulting offspring will have the same characters as the parent.

Detailed explanation-4: -Obligate asexual reproduction has been thought to arise because of inbreeding or mutation in large populations (Scheuerl et al. 2011). Facultative sexual reproduction is relatively rare, being only observed in a few animal species.

Detailed explanation-5: -All the three given options are false. Asexual reproduction is a form of reproduction in which the offspring produced is exactly similar to the parent. Also, neither there is formation of two different gametes, nor there is an involvement of two different sexes.
