The simplest example would be of single celled animals.
A single celled animal that reproduces by fission need only consume and convert sufficient resources to divide, producing two animals of similar size.
A single celled organism that reproduces by budding requires fewer resources yet as it is producing a much smaller version of itself.
The same single celled animal must, in order to reproduce sexually, find another animal of the same type, both must have sufficient resources to pair, exchange genetic material and then at least one of them must acquire the energy to divide,
producing new organisms.
Even at the single celled level it is easy to see the time differential between asexual and sexual reproduction.
What else can I help you with?
Do humans reproduce sexually or asexually?
Sexual reproduction is not a matter of more or less when comparing humans with other living things. Humans reproduce sexually. Most animals reproduce sexually. Many plants reproduce sexually. Some plants and a few animals can reproduce asexually.
Why did god make two sexes not one?
God didn't make two sexes. There are 2 sexes to increase genetic diversity. Organisms that reproduce asexually (having only one sex) are not as diverse and are therefore less able to adapt to their environment and thus reproduce continuing their species.
Is it true or false that fungi reproduce sexually only when conditions become favorable?
False. Fungi can reproduce sexually or asexually depending on the species and environmental conditions. Sexual reproduction in fungi typically occurs when conditions are favorable, but some fungi can also reproduce sexually under less favorable conditions.
Only less complex forms of animal life can reproduce asexually. why?
because du ma may
Why do geographical isolation is not regarded as a reproductive isolating mechanism?
Geographical isolation is not a cause of speciation in an asexually reproducing organism because the population is self-pollinating and would be less prone to the factors which results from geographical isolation.
Why do organisms with greater fitness generally leave more offspring then organisms that are less fit?
Organisms that are less fit can die before they reproduce. This is statistically more likely for such organisms. Organisms that are less fit have problems getting mates as they are passed over in greater numbers than fit organisms. Organisms that are less fit can not bring the offspring to term and provide as well for the offspring as fit organisms can. Organisms that are less fit pass on to their progeny the genetic insults that they carry, thus their offspring are less fit also. And many other reasons could be thought of here, so you think of some reasons yourself.
Organisms with favorable variation reproduce more successfully than organisms with less favorable variations. this statement best describes the concept of?
Survival of the fittest.
How does reproduction decreases when survival changes decrease also?
The less of a chance of survival there is, the less organisms will survive to sexual maturity (when they are able to reproduce)
Do peas repruoduce sexually or asexually?
Peas primarily reproduce sexually through the process of pollination, where pollen from the male anthers fertilizes the ovules in the female ovary. This sexual reproduction leads to the formation of seeds, which can grow into new plants. However, peas can also reproduce asexually through methods like vegetative propagation, although this is less common in practice.
The process by which organisms that are better adapted to their enviorment survive and reproduce more successfully than less well adapted organisms?
Survival of the fittest, evolution, you choose. The organisms with the best genetics are the ones who survive to reproduce and pass on their good genes, where the organisms with poor genetics die and do not pass on theirs.
Organisms with traits well-suited to their environments survive and reproduce at a greater rate than less well adapted organisms in the same environment is called?
This is known as "natural selection." It is a key mechanism of evolution where organisms with advantageous traits for their environment have a better chance of surviving and passing on those traits to their offspring, leading to the gradual adaptation of populations to their specific environments.
Why do organisms that reproduce asexually reproduce in less time than those that reproduce sexually?
Organisms that reproduce asexually can reproduce more quickly because they do not have to find a mate, courtship rituals, or undergo meiosis to produce gametes. Asexual reproduction also produces offspring that are genetic clones of the parent, which can be advantageous in stable environments.
