Which of the following is a characteristic of a disadvantage of Sexual Reproduction?
A
diverse offspring
B
identical to parent
C
time and energy
D
adaptability
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A disadvantage is that sexual reproduction takes longer than asexual reproduction. A mate must be found, the egg must be fertilised by sperm, and then the offspring develop. The benefit of introducing genetic variation into the species, however, outweighs this disadvantage.

Detailed explanation-2: -Disadvantages Of Asexual Reproduction The process requires less energy. Since the offspring is an exact copy of the parent, any negative mutation will also pass on to the offspring. It takes place in various environments. There is limited diversity within life forms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sexual reproduction requires exponentially more energy than asexual reproduction. Nevertheless, sexual reproduction has two major advantages over asexual reproduction: it results in genetic diversity in offspring, and it eliminates harmful mutations.

Detailed explanation-4: -The disadvantage of asexual reproduction is that organisms do not receive a mix of traits from both parents. An organism that is born through asexual reproduction only has the DNA from the one parent. In fact, the offspring is genetically an exact copy of the parent.
