What kind of reproduction leads to large populations lacking genetic diversity and consisting of genetically identical organisms?

Asexual reproduction because in asexual reproduction, the offspring is genetically identical to the parent. One of the advantages of asexual reproduction is large population because in asexual reproduction, only one parent is involved. The types of organisms that have asexual reproduction are: Algae, yeasts, and protozoans.

What do you gain genetically from sexual reproduction compared to mitosis?
The offspring receive genetic material from both parents, increasing the chance for diversity.
What is the genetic outcome of asexual reproduction?
an organism genetically identical to its parent, unless mutation occurs. Even in the case of mutation, there is less genetic diversity than there would be in sexual reproduction.
What describes a population at great risk for genetic diversity?
The number one cause of risk to genetic diversity in populations is the size of the population. The smaller the size in an area, the less diverse genetically the population is.
Does sexual reprouction increase or decrease genetic diversity?
Sexual reproduction increases genetic diversity, because the offspring will not be genetically identical to either parent, being a genetic blend of the two parents.
What are some advantages of sexuall reproduction?
more offspring
What is generated by asexual reproduction?
Always during asexual reproduction, the offspring will be genetically identical to the parent. In plants, there are different types of asexual reproduction;budding, vegetative propogation, fragmentation, binary fission, and spores. Just say is a disease or an environmental change came into a field with plants that were identical, the genetically identical plants would mostly likely not survive due to no genetic diversity. Asexual reproduction can happen during mitosis, not meiosis.
What type of reproduction leads to genetic diversity?
Sexual reproduction contributes to genetic diversity.
Which form of reproduction leds to the greatest genetic diversity?
Sexual reproduction.
What type of cell reproduction is more likely to increase genetic diversity?
Sexual reproduction is most likely to increase genetic diversity.
What is the Sexual method of reproduction involving two protists and producing genetically different offspring?
The method is called conjugation which is when two cells interchange nuclei and separate then divide several times, thus forming or causing genetic diversity resulting in off springs that are genetically different.
What are the advantages of sexual and asexual reproduction?
disadvantages of sexual reproduction:- need 2 parents (if one species dies out; can't produce anything) - can spread disease- not quick- may be mutationsadvantages of asexual reproduction:disadvantages of asexual reproduction:- exact copy - no diversity- if a disease is genetically transmitted, every generation will get that disease and soon become extincthope this helped !
What is the process that allows for genetic diversity in populations is?
Sex.
