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: -it does not lead to genetic 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: -Negative mutations linger longer in asexual organisms. Diversity is limited. Population numbers can be difficult to control. There can be an inability to adapt. Overcrowding can be a real issue. Reproduction can create competition. More items •08-Jun-2017
