Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which process is considered to be faster?
A
Asexual
B
Sexual
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual reproduction is a faster process as compared to sexual reproduction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Binary fission starts with a single cell that copies its DNA and then splits into two identical cells. This is a very fast and efficient way for bacteria and similar types of cells to create offspring.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are two types of reproduction: asexual and sexual reproduction. Though asexual reproduction is faster and more energy efficient, sexual reproduction better promotes genetic diversity through new combinations of alleles during meiosis and fertilization.

Detailed explanation-4: -Amoeba and euglena exhibit binary fission. It is one of the simplest and uncomplicated methods of asexual reproduction. The parent cell divides into two, each daughter cell carrying a nucleus of its own that is genetically identical to the parent.

Detailed explanation-5: -Expert-Verified Answer. binary fission and bidding are faster than sexual reproduction because in binary fission the cell is divided within 2 to 3 hours and the process of budding takes 8 to 14 weeks whereas sexual reproduction takes 7 to 9 months which is much more greater than binary fission and budding.
