Some disadvantages of asexual reproduction are
- Offspring are genetic clones. A negative mutation can make a sexually produced organisms susceptible to disease and can destroy large numbers of offspring.
- Some methods of asexual reproduction produce offspring that are close together and compete for food and space.
- Unfavorable conditions such as extreme temperatures can wipe out entire colonies.
its not efficient
if the parent is ill or has a disease then the offspring will have it as well
generally leads to overcrowding
In Asexual reproduction, an exact copy is made of the parent. So, there is no inherited variability and everyone is a "clone." So, if the environment changes and people need to adapt, there will be no available mutations to let evolution take its course, and the species will most likely die out.
There are no variations in offspring except those caused by mutations, so, if the environment changes, there might be little chance of any offspring surviving.
While asexual reproduction has several advantages over sexual reproduction, there is one major disadvantage. As only one parent is needed in asexual reproduction, if there is a faulty gene, it will pass on to the offspring, who will pass it on to their offspring.
There are quite a few disadvantages of asexual reproduction including lack of variety or the passing on of mutations. This means that if one plant has a genetic mutation it's offspring will likely have the same mutation.
Inbreeding makes organisms vulnerable to extinction by one pathogen spreading throughout identical offspring. Sexual reproduction adds genetic diversity and some mutations may give immunity to a few offspring who then become the progenitors of the next generations.
disadvantages of asexual-you have LESSER chance at catching an STD

i dont know, thats why i logged on here
The scientific name for asexual reproduction is asexual reproduction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION NEEDS ONLY ONE PARENT.
Asexual means "not sexual": These organisms do not use sexual reproduction, which requires two parents. An asexual organism therefore only has one parent. Asexual organisms are simple and single-celled (unicellular). When the cell divides, the organism had reproduced. This has an advantage: The organism doesn't need another of its own kind to pass its genetic material on. It also has a disadvantage: The genetics of asexual organisms are less diverse. Sexual reproduction allows organisms to be more adaptible than asexual reproduction, since more unique combinations of genes can result with sexual reproduction.
A single antibiotic is able to quickly and easily kill millions of genetically identical bacteria.
It takes more energy than asexual reproduction. It produces much less offspring than asexual reproduction does.
i dont know, thats why i logged on here
no they do not "hsve" asexual reproduction they "have" asexual reproduction...
asexual. its what plants do
Meiosis (chromosome halving). Advantage: mass rapid colonization. Disadvantage: no diversity.
What are the Advanages of Asexual reproduction?
asexual reproduction produces
the disadvantage of sexual reproduction is that you actually have to have sex to create a child. this is why asexual reproduction is good because the parent organism can create a baby without having to have sex.
asexual reproduction. Mitosis.
Asexual reproduction does not lead to genetic variations while sexual reproduction leads to genetic variations. In asexual reproduction there is no limitation/restrictions for gametes to be fertilized.In sexual reproduction if either of the gametes do not function/not present then the possibility of reproduction becomes nil.Asexual reproduction gives rise to multiple daughter cells from mother cells while sexual reproduction normally gives rise to only two daughter cells.

asexual reproduction is to 1 as sexal reproduction is to 2
