Offspring are genetically identical to their parents.
No. Many plants and animals do reproduce by asexual means. But there is no exchange of genetic material in this type of reproduction.
All genetic material comes from one parent
Genetically identical offspring are produced by asexual reproduction, also known as cloning. In asexual reproduction, the parent organism simply replicates its own genetics. This is in contrast to sexual reproduction in which two parent organisms combine their genetics.
Requires much less time and effort, as you need not find a mate. Can reproduce many quickly. But they will all be the same, so beware of genetic defects!
Yes, there will always be mutations.However, with sexual reproduction, there is a tendency for greater genetic variations.
yes
asexual reproduction has a way of mutating bad genes. even beneficial mutations will become extinct if trapped along with genes that reduce the fitness of the population.
To maintain the genetic stability
sex is always the answer.
Mutation.
Asexual reproduction.
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.

true
Asexual reproduction.
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.
