What type of reproduction enables evolution?
sexual reproduction because asexual reproduction results in an organism that is identical to the parent cell which does not allow for diversity. diversity allows for evolution. sexual reproduction results in offspring that are not identical and may contain traits that are better adapted to survive in their environment.
Sexual reproduction contributes to genetic diversity in offspring more than asexual reproduction?
true
What is the primary advantage of sexual reproduction?
Sexual reproduction is more advantageous than asexual reproduction because it allows for genetic diversity. In asexual reproduction there is only one source of genetic material whereas with sexual reproduction there are two sources of genetic material.
How does sexual reproduction affect evolution in comparison to asexual reproduction?
sexual reproduction gives traits of both parents to the child where as asexual reproduction is just a copy of the original with no change at all
What kind of reproduction leads to large populations lacking genetic diversity and consisting of genetically identical organisms?
Asexual reproduction because in asexual reproduction, the offspring is genetically identical to the parent. One of the advantages of asexual reproduction is large population because in asexual reproduction, only one parent is involved. The types of organisms that have asexual reproduction are: Algae, yeasts, and protozoans.
Dinobryon is a species of protozoa that reproduces asexual. How can this asexual reproduction be harmful to the species?
They have less genetic diversity in their population.
Asexual reproduction limits diversity?
asexual reproduction has a way of mutating bad genes. even beneficial mutations will become extinct if trapped along with genes that reduce the fitness of the population.
Why does the sexual reproduction produce more diversity of organisms than asexual reproduction produced?
This is because asexual reproduction selects genes thus reducing the alleles, the gene pool, if done over and over. Sexual reproduction selects genes randomly thus preserving the gene pool. Hope this helps! :)
Whats A type of reproduction when a new organisms sometimes more than one is produced that has hereditary material identical to the parent organism?
It is sexual reproduction
Do asexual reproduction occurs only in microorganisms?
No. Many plants and animals do reproduce by asexual means. But there is no exchange of genetic material in this type of reproduction.
Does asexual reproduction contribute to sexual variation?
No. Asexual reproduction provides no diversity, as it creates an exact copy of the organism. Sexual reproduction, on the other hand, provides diversity by using and combining different genes each time to create an entirely new version of the organism.
Does asexual reproduction incress or decress diversity?
Decreases diversity because asexual reproduction is almost a cloning process and the progenitor organism transmits 100% of it's genetic endowment to it's off spring while sexually reproducing organisms contribute 50% each in genetic material and, with independent assortment, crossing over a random fertilization, sexually reproducing organisms posses much more genetic diversity that asexual reproducers. In fact some biologists think that when more complex organisms go this route that they are headed for extinction. Less complex asexual reproducers have a high mutation rate and have mechanisms for exchanging genetic material laterally.
