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: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -The advantages of sexual reproduction: it produces 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.
