Asexual reproduction results in greater generic diversity

|
|
Asexual reproduction needs two parents to produce offspring

|
|
Sexual reproduction results in greater genetic diversity
|
|
|
Sexual reproduction is the same as asexual reproduction
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Sexual reproduction provides genetic diversity because the sperm and egg that are produced contain different combinations of genes than the parent organisms. Asexual reproduction, on the other hand, does not need sperm and eggs since one organism splits into two organisms that have the same combination of genes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual reproduction involves one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent. Sexual reproduction involves two parents and produces offspring that are genetically unique.
Detailed explanation-3: -And not only does asexual reproduction lead to higher rates of genetic diversity, it also is two times more efficient than sexual reproduction.
Detailed explanation-4: -In sexual reproduction, an organism combines the genetic information from each of its parents and is genetically unique. In asexual reproduction, one parent copies itself to form a genetically identical offspring.
Detailed explanation-5: -Sexual reproduction also results in genetic variation among siblings. When a parent forms a gamete, only one chromosome from each homologous pair is included at random. So, an offspring might inherit a different combination of chromosomes (and alleles) compared to its siblings.
