Sexual.
Sex allows for more variation in offspring thus increasing the chances for survival.

What organisms multiplies based on its mode of asexual reproduction?
Amoeba multiply rapidly based on the mode of asexual reproduction.
An advantage of asexual reproduction is that?
that you get a baby. or that you need a partner
Why sexual reproduction is an advantage to a population that lives in a rapidly changing environment?
Sexual reproduction makes use of meiosis, which has the unique property of introducing variation in the offspring by means of recombination. Asexual reproduction, which depends on mitosis, can only rely on mutations as a source of variation. Mutations, however, are rarer and more unpredictable than recombination and are not suited to rapidly create a new variation of the old strain that is specifically more adapted to the current environment.
The ability to rapidly reproduce is an advantage of?
its eather asexual reproducton or sexual reproduction
In general asexual reproduction is used by organisms?
it allows them to multiply very rapidly
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 are some characteristics that both sexual and asexual reproduction share?
The characteristics of asexual reproduction are: The descendant is similar to the ascendant The descendants form together a clone Don't waste time on searching for partners It's a rapid reproduction Same genetic material Are able to colonize a large surface rapidly
Are mosquitos r- strategists or k- strategists?
r-strategists; their environment is rapidly changing.
What kinds of advice do experts have to offer in terms of preparing for work in a rapidly changing environment?
nothing
Types of reprodiction that allows plants more variation?
Asexual reproduction does not involve sex cells or gametes (produced through meiosis). Rather, it is reproduction by mitosis allowing a new, genetically identical individual to be produced. Both methods of reproduction have advantages and disadvantages. Sexual reproduction allows genetic variation and allows the development of a population that is specifically adapted to its surroundings (and is therefore more likely to survive). However, when a very desirable combination of traits is found, sexual reproduction risks losing them in the randomness of the process. Asexual reproduction does not allow genetic variation, but guarantees reproduction (no dependence on others). It rapidly increases numbers of an organism and keeps its desired combination of traits. Many plants reproduce use a combination of sexual and asexual reproduction to get the benefits of both methods..
