Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In asexual reproduction an exact genetic copy of the parent organism is produced (a clone ). Unlike sexual reproduction, asexual reproduction only introduces genetic variation into the population if a random mutation in the organism’s DNA is passed on to the offspring.
Detailed explanation-2: -Asexually reproducing organisms spend fewer resources for the same reproductive output, meaning their populations grow and expand faster than sexually reproducing ones. On the other hand, asexual populations have reduced genetic diversity and, hence, lower adaptability to changing environments.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sexual reproduction generates less variation than asexual reproduction.
