How is it better for the survival of the species for the protozoa to reproduce asexually instead of sexually?

Advantages of Asexual reproduction are as follows:
- This type of reproduction enable organisms to reproduce without a mate.
- It does not require the time and energy that takes to search a mate.
- It results in the reproduction of large number of offspring rapidly.
- Like in plants, it enables to spread and colonize an area in short period of time.
- Animals that are confined to one particular place and unable to look for a mate reproduce asexually.
- Stable environments with very little change are favorable for organisms to reproduce asexually.

Why do some organisms reproduce both asexually and sexually?
The strategy increases chances of survival for that species.
How is it better for the survival of the species for the Protozoa to produce asexually instead of sexually?
The main advantage of asexual reproduction is that you don't need to find a mate. If sexual species cannot find a mate, they cannot reproduce and their genes die with them. Asexual species can reproduce whenever they have food, however. No mate is required.
What is the function of an angiosperms flower?
An angiosperm is a flowering plant. The flower is how the plant reproduces sexually. This allows for hybridzation and variation. Plants that reproduce by spores have less variation.
Bacteria are organisms that reproduce asexually how is this better for them than reproducing sexually?
bacteria are organisms that face changes all the time. if the change wipes out all the bacteria and leaves only one, sexual reproduction is a bad survival technique even if it mutates. They can grow to larger Populations more quickly. Apex- T.F.
Is one way scientists classify organisms is by reproduce?
Yes, scientists classify organisms based on various characteristics, including their method of reproduction. For example, organisms can be classified as sexual or asexual, depending on whether they reproduce through the fusion of gametes (sex cells) or not. Some organisms, such as certain plants and fungi, can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Additionally, the way in which an organism reproduces can influence its evolutionary trajectory, as different reproductive strategies can have different costs and benefits in terms of survival and reproduction.
How the environment affects the survival species?
inability to reproduce
What is a survival technique of the T-Rex?
To eat. Not get eaten and reproduce.

What is the advantage of sexual reproduction if an organism is capable of reproducting asexually?
Sexual reproduction creates diversity, which in turn will increase the likelihood of survival for that population. By asexually reproducing, you eliminate these varieties and the population is more susceptible to death.
Which of the following best explains why species that reproduce sexually have an advantage in a rapidly changing environment as compared to species that reproduce asexually?
Organisms that reproduce asexually pass on a duplicate of their genetic material, and don't have to worry about the random outcome of allele frequencies from crossing over. Asexual reproduction occurs more quickly because the organism doesn't have to find a mate to reproduce. So asexual organisms don't have to worry about impressing anybody. All of these qualities that asexual reproducers possess are great if the environment they live in is unchanging. But what happens if the environment decides to change like it inevitably does. Well if the asexual reproducers aren't fit for the environment they die and so will the rest of their offspring because they inherited the exact same disabilities that the parent organism had. If the parent of seven offspring dies because they was not adapt for the changes that occurred in the environment then the offspring still have a chance for survival if they inherited a trait from the other parent that would help them survive in the changing environment. Another reason why sexual reproduction is so beneficial is that it is better at combating disease.
What end purpose drives life to reproduce so aggressively?
survival of the species
How does reproduction decreases when survival changes decrease also?
The less of a chance of survival there is, the less organisms will survive to sexual maturity (when they are able to reproduce)
