|
the ability to produce a great number of offspring

only 1 parent needed for reproduction
|
|
|
less energy needed to reproduce
|
|
|
creates genetic variety in the population
|
Detailed explanation-1: -In an unstable or unpredictable environment asexually-reproducing species may be at a disadvantage because all the offspring are genetically identical and may not have the genetic variation to survive in new or different conditions.
Detailed explanation-2: -The disadvantages of asexual reproduction include: it does not lead to variation in a population. the species may only be suited to one habitat. disease may affect all the individuals in a population.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Asexual reproduction has both positive and negative impacts on the evolutionary success of a species. Asexually reproducing organisms spend fewer resources for the same reproductive output, meaning their populations grow and expand faster than sexually reproducing ones.
