Asexual reproduction increases genetic variation-the raw material on which natural selection operates?
Asexual reproduction decreases genetic variation which is the raw material on which natural selection operates. This is because asexual reproduction produces identical offspring to the parent.
What is the source of genetic variation in asexual reproduction?
Mutation.
Which of these is necessary for natural selection to occur genetic engeneering genetic variation asexual reproduction or enviormental stability?
Genetic variation
Which breeding system reduces genetic variation in a population?
Asexual reproduction.
What is asexual reproduction versus sexual reproduction?
Asexual reproduction is basically the act of an organism making an exact copy of itself without the help of another organism, while sexual reproduction is the act of two organisms crossing their genetics to create offspring.

Genetic variation

Asexual reproduction.
Why cross pollination produces more genetic variation in the offspring than self pollination produces?
Cross-pollination produces more genetic variation in offspring because it is a different set of DNA that is breeding with the parents DNA to produce the offspring (known as sexual reproduction). In asexual reproduction, the parent plant uses a clone DNA to self pollinate thus creating an exact copy of the parent. Asexual reproduction inhibits genetic variation because the offspring will never develop mutations that could help natural selection.
What is the primary advantage of sexual reproduction?
Sexual reproduction is more advantageous than asexual reproduction because it allows for genetic diversity. In asexual reproduction there is only one source of genetic material whereas with sexual reproduction there are two sources of genetic material.
Why meiosis provides genetic variation?
Sexual reproduction (using meiosis) provides genetic variation because the two parent's traits are combined. With asexual reproduction, the parent gene is just duplicated.
Does sexual reproduction result in more genetic variation in a species than asexual reproduction?
Asexual reproduction results in offspring which are genetically the same as the parent organism (not counting a rare mutation). Sexual reproduction produces a random mixture of the genetics derived from both parents.In sexual reproduction, offspring are not identical to either parent.
Why is sexual reproduction more advantageous than asexual reproduction?
Produces unique offspring instead of genetic copies.
Which of these is the major difference between asexual and sexual reproduction in sea stars?
There is genetic variation in the sea stars as a result of sexual reproduction.
Why is there great Variation in the offspring produced through sexual reproduction but little or no variation in the offspring produced through asexual reproduction?
In asexual reproduction there is no independent orientation of chromosomes, not crossing over and no random fertilization. Cloning the exact genetic material from organism to progeny is all asexual reproduction is. So, very little chance of anything but mutation, copying errors, are going to happen in asexual reproduction.
How does sexual reproduction affect genetic traits?
Asexual reproduction impacts genetic variation by limiting future genetic change to mutations only; sexual reproduction allows future generation to mix in a nearly infinite range of phenotypes (external appearance).
