As all the cloned individuals are identical they have exactly the same strengths and weaknesses. If the environment changes rapidly in a way that makes it harder for them to survive then most or even all individuals may be eliminated before any evolved better ways to survive in the changed environment.
In species that have other means of reproduction available their populations have greater diversity in strength and weaknesses, so there is a greater chance that some individuals will already be able to better survive in the newly changed environment. Those individuals will pass on their traits to the next generation.
What else can I help you with?
What risk is there to as species that only reproduces by cloning?
A major risk to a species that only reproduces by cloning is lack of genetic diversity. This can make the species more vulnerable to diseases, environmental changes, and other threats, as they lack the genetic variation that can help populations adapt and survive. Additionally, if a clone is susceptible to a specific threat, it can wipe out an entire clone-based population.
The members of a certain species of grass in a lawn are genetically identical The best explanation for this observation is that the species most probably reproduces?
Asexually through cloning or vegetative propagation, where new plants arise from the parent plant without genetic variation.
What is cross species cloning?
It is the cloning of an endangered animal and using animal from another species as surrogate mother.
When do you think cloning is beneficial?
Cloning is beneficial when an animal species or other organism species is becoming extinct. By cloning them, there will be more of them now, and enough of them to reproduce and naturally restore the population.
What is the difference between natural and artificial cloning?
Natural cloning occurs when an organism reproduces asexually, producing genetically identical offspring. Artificial cloning, on the other hand, is the process of creating genetically identical copies of an organism by manipulating its DNA in a laboratory setting.
When a species of organism only reproduces asexually. due to a change in the environment some organisms are starting to die. predict how the other organisms of the species will do?
A. they will probably die because they have the same genes
Arguments in favor of Animal Cloning?
The one benefit of animal cloning that will have the biggest impact on our environment is that with the technology of cloning, we can now preserve endangered breeds and species.
What allows variation among a species that reproduces sexually?
The combination of genes
Dinobryon is a species of protozoa that reproduces asexually . How can this asexual reproduction be harmful to the species?
They have less genetic diversity in their population.
Dinobryon is a species of protozoa that reproduces asexual. How can this asexual reproduction be harmful to the species?
They have less genetic diversity in their population.
How is it that each species reproduces its own kinds?
It is genetically encoded and that is passed on to the offspring.
What is the stage called when a person reproduces?
The stage when a person reproduces is called "reproductive stage," which involves the process of producing offspring. This stage is essential for the continuation of a species.
