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.

What is disadvantage of sexual reproduction?
It takes more energy than asexual reproduction. It produces much less offspring than asexual reproduction does.
What are one advantage and one disadvantage of asexual reproduction compared with sexual reproduction?
One advantage of asexual reproduction is that it is more efficient as it does not require the search for a mate. One disadvantage is that it results in lower genetic diversity, making populations more susceptible to diseases and environmental changes.
What example represents a disadvantage of asexual reproduction?
A disadvantage of asexual reproduction is the lack of genetic diversity, which can make a population more vulnerable to diseases and changing environmental conditions. Mutations may not be introduced as frequently in asexual reproduction, limiting the potential for adaptation and evolution.
In fungi which is a disadvantage of asexual reproduction as compared to sexual reproduction?
A disadvantage of asexual reproduction in fungi is the lack of genetic diversity. This can make the population more susceptible to diseases and environmental changes since there is no genetic variation to help combat new challenges.
Do protists hsve an asexual reproduction?
no they do not "hsve" asexual reproduction they "have" asexual reproduction...
What type of reproduction that only require one parent?
asexual. its what plants do
What is a disavantage for sexual reproduction?
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.
What is the other name of asexual reproduction?
The scientific name for asexual reproduction is asexual reproduction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH
What are the advantage and disadvantage of sexual and asexual reproduction?
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.
What is the creation of offspring from only one organism called?
asexual reproduction. Mitosis.
Asexual reproduction produces?
asexual reproduction produces
What are the advanages of Asexual reproduction?
What are the Advanages of Asexual reproduction?
