What sexual reproduction may have originated as a way for cells?

Sexual reproduction may have originated as a way for cells to increase genetic diversity and adaptability to changing environments by combining genetic material from two distinct individuals. This genetic recombination promotes the generation of new genetic variations that may provide a survival advantage in the face of selection pressures.


What structures are involved in sexual reproduction in prokaryotic cells?

Pili are plasma membrane extensions that serve to allow joining of bacterial cells so that exchange of DNA between cells may occur, thus bringing about sexual reproduction.


Penicillium may have evolved from an ascomycete that lost its ability to carry out?

sexual reproduction, leading to the asexual reproductive mechanisms seen in Penicillium species. This loss of sexual reproduction may have provided a selective advantage in specific environmental conditions, allowing for the rapid spread and adaptation of Penicillium fungi.


What is advantage of asexual reproduction over sexual reproduction?

It is generally though that sexual recombination is the greatest advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction. By recombining genes you get many variants that may have some members of the population resistant to some environmental challenge. Asexuality just gives clones.


What type of reproduction occurs among human being?

Reproduction may be aseual or sexual. In asexual reproduction, a single individual produces another by itself.


What is a disadvantage to sexual reprodunction?

A disadvantage of sexual reproduction is the need to find a mate, which can be time-consuming and energetically costly. Additionally, sexual reproduction may result in genetic diversity, which can be disadvantageous if harmful mutations are passed on to offspring.


What are the names of the cycle of a plant?

The life cycle of plants may be of two types. Sexual cycle of reproduction and Asexual cycle of reproduction.


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.
