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: -Because asexual reproduction does not require the formation of gametes (often in separate individuals) and bringing them together for fertilization, it occurs much faster than sexual reproduction and requires less energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction only requires one parent. Asexual reproduction is interesting as it only requires one parent. This means that the cells involved do not need to worry about finding a mate. This saves a lot of time and is far more energy efficient than sexual reproduction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sexual reproduction uses more energy and time than asexual reproduction.
