Advantage:
·Only need one member of species to procreate
Disadvantage:
·Since they are pretty much clones they have the same immunity, diseases that kill one will likely kill them all

What is it called when one parent produces offspring that is an exact copy of the parent?
it is called chlorobiastic which means the offspring looks exactly like its parent.
What is the process whereby an organism produces more of its own kind is called?
This process is called reproduction. In many organisms, it may be of asexual type which leads to produce more of its own kind. The sexual reproduction prevalent in higher forms leads to 50 % individuals of its own kind genetically and 50 % having new genetic configuration. The sexual reproduction by having genetic variations promotes evolution.
How does sexual reproduction decrease an organisms chance of survival?
Actually, sexual reproduction can increase survival of the overall population by creating diversity. It is more effective over asexual reproduction.
What are the advantages and disadvantages in having a gps vehicle tracking system on your teens car?
An advantage of having a GPS vehicle tracking system on your teens car would be that you could easily locate where they are. A disadvantage would be that your teen may see it as a mistrust issue and feel like you are being overbearing.
How many parents does a cell that reproduces by sexual reproduction have?
Bacteria reproduce using binary fission and budding, which are asexual. Hence only having one parent. They grow extremly fast and populations can easily double in 8 to 10 minutes.
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 are the advantages and disadvantages of asexual reproduction compared with sexual reproduction?
advantages of asexual is that it reproduces easily by itself and it has 1 parent cellSome advantages of asexual reproduction are- Large numbers of offspring are reproduced very quickly from only oneparent when conditions are favourable.- Large colonies can form that can out - complete other organisms for nutrients and water.- Large numbers of organisms mean that species may survive when conditions or the number of predators change.- Energy is not required to find a mate.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.- Unfavourable conditions such as extreme temperatures can wipe out entire colonies.
What does asexual reproduction result in?
asexual reproduction is the ability to reproduce without a mate this means that when there are certain enviromental factors constricting the population one organism can carry on the species alone.

What are the advantages and the disadvantages of a sexual reproduction and sexual reproduction?
The main disadvantage of sexual reproduction is that it can be difficult for two organisms of the opposite sex to find each other and to mate. With asexual reproduction, any organism can reproduce whenever it wants to, or whenever it has the surplus of nutrients needed to do so. The main advantage of sexual reproduction is that it creates genetic variation, and by having varied offspring, there is a greater chance that at least some of those offspring will be well adapted to the changing environment. With asexual reproduction, genetic variation is very slight; there will be none at all unless there is a mutation induced by radiation, and even then, it will almost certainly be an unfavorable mutation rather than a useful one. So if an organism is not already well adapted to its environment, the genetically identical offspring of that organism will also be poorly adapted.
