AP BIOLOGY

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: -It only needs one parent to produce offspring. It is a rapid process. It allows genetic variation. It produces identical offspring.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction is especially suitable to plants as they are non-motile. There are several advantages of asexual reproduction including the maintenance of genetic continuity, decreased energy requirements, numerous offspring produced quickly, and that fact that it does not require finding a mate.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual reproduction occurs when gametes do not fuse or the number of chromosomes does not change. Asexually reproduced children from unicellular and multicellular organisms receive their single parent’s entire gene set.
