SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
|
Question
[CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
|
|
|
Because the offspring is genetically identical to the parent
|
|
|
Because the offspring of sexual reproduction need one parent
|
|
|
Because genetic variation allows for favorable traits to be passed on to the offspring
|
|
|
Because during asexual reproduction the offspring are genetically identical which makes them stronger and most likely to survive
|
Detailed explanation-1: -During sexual reproduction the genetic material of two individuals is combined to produce genetically diverse offspring that differ from their parents. The genetic diversity of sexually produced offspring is thought to give species a better chance of surviving in an unpredictable or changing environment.
Detailed explanation-2: -The genetic diversity of sexually produced offspring is thought to give sexually reproducing individuals greater fitness because more of their offspring may survive and reproduce in an unpredictable or changing environment.
Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual Reproduction Definition This is beneficial to the population because genetically diverse populations have a higher chance of withstanding survival challenges such as disease and environmental changes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sexual reproduction is a better mode of reproduction. It allows the formation of new variants by the combination of the DNA from two different individuals, typically one of each sex. It involves the fusion of the male and the female gamete to produce variants, which are not identical to their parents and to themselves.
Detailed explanation-5: -Sexually reproducing organisms have a second way to increase variation: recombination. This system works in living things where genes come in pairs. Every reproductive cell (sperm or egg) that a parent makes is unique, since it randomly gets one allele from the pair.
