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: -Asexual reproduction requires only one parent. There are many types of asexual reproduction. Four major types are: 1) Binary fission: Single parent cell doubles its DNA, then divides into two cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -In asexual reproduction, only one parent is involved. Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which offspring arise from a single organism and inherit the genes of that parent only.
Detailed explanation-4: -Advantages of Asexual Reproduction Mates are not required. The process of reproduction is rapid. An enormous number of organisms can be produced in very less time. Positive genetic influences pass on to successive generations.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
