AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual species, on the other hand, do not have genetic variability like we do-each of their offspring has the exact same genetic makeup as their parent.

Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual reproduction uses the process of mitosis to create the identical copies (clones) of the parent cell. It therefore leads to offspring that show no genetic variation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction generates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent. In sexual reproduction, two parents contribute genetic information to produce unique offspring.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asexually reproducing organisms spend fewer resources for the same reproductive output, meaning their populations grow and expand faster than sexually reproducing ones. On the other hand, asexual populations have reduced genetic diversity and, hence, lower adaptability to changing environments.

Detailed explanation-5: -For living things that reproduce asexually, mutation is the main way they have for making new gene variations. Now two have the difference. When this happens, it also makes a new gene version that can be passed on to the next generation. Mutation acting over many generations can produce multiple versions of a gene.
