Sexual because it has variations from the different parents' when asexual only has one parent. This refers to DNA because the offspring holds the DNA of the parents(which refers to the 23 chromosomes coming from each parent.)

What happens as a result of asexual reproduction?

Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent organism. This leads to a lack of genetic variation among the offspring, which may make them more susceptible to diseases or environmental changes. On the other hand, asexual reproduction allows for rapid population growth and is common in organisms such as bacteria and plants.


An advantage of sexual reproduction is?

An advantage of a sexual reproduction is that it is able to produce more offspring because of the mate. Children are different from the parents and more genetic variation species.


How does sexual reproduction facilitate a species in evolving more rapidly?

Sexual reproduction allows for genetic variation through the mixing of genetic material from two parents, increasing the chances of beneficial traits being passed on to offspring. This genetic diversity can help a species adapt to changing environments more quickly, leading to faster evolution.


In plants one way sexual reproduction differs from asexual reproduction is that in sexual reproduction?

· Flowering plants recruit a wide variety of animals, particularly insects, to transport their pollen (sperm) by offering them flower nectar and pollen as a food reward. Animals do not rely on other species to transfer their sperm. · Plants produce seeds which are undeveloped plants and have a hard shell. Some animals, such as ducks, lay eggs which is somewhat similar to seeds but doesn't have anywhere near a hard enough shell. · Plants use sexual and asexual reproduction. Higher animals just use sexual reproduction. I hope that helps you out! Please do NOT copy and paste this. That is copy right. You may take the information but do NOT copy and paste.


Is asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction more beneficial to the population?

Sexual reproduction is more beneficial to a species than asexual reproduction. This is because in sexual reproduction, the genes from two distinct parents are passed down to one distinct child, which creates genetic diversity. It also reduces the risk of mutations, and allows an organism to inherit more traits that could be beneficial to the species.

Types of reprodiction that allows plants more variation?

Asexual reproduction does not involve sex cells or gametes (produced through meiosis). Rather, it is reproduction by mitosis allowing a new, genetically identical individual to be produced. Both methods of reproduction have advantages and disadvantages. Sexual reproduction allows genetic variation and allows the development of a population that is specifically adapted to its surroundings (and is therefore more likely to survive). However, when a very desirable combination of traits is found, sexual reproduction risks losing them in the randomness of the process. Asexual reproduction does not allow genetic variation, but guarantees reproduction (no dependence on others). It rapidly increases numbers of an organism and keeps its desired combination of traits. Many plants reproduce use a combination of sexual and asexual reproduction to get the benefits of both methods..


Is there more or less variation with asexual reproduction?

There is less variation with asexual reproduction.

Why do humans reproduce sexually?

Asexual reproduction is only done by cells, plants, and a few protozoa. Sexual reproduction is the only choice humans have and it has quite a few advantages over asexual reproduction. It results in more variation and is more fun.


Is Sexual or asexual reproduction better for a rapidly changing environment?

Sexual. Sex allows for more variation in offspring thus increasing the chances for survival.


An advantage of sexual reproduction is?

An advantage of a sexual reproduction is that it is able to produce more offspring because of the mate. Children are different from the parents and more genetic variation species.


Which produces more variation budding parthenogenesis sexual or asexual reproduction?

Sexual reproduction produces more genetic variation than asexual reproduction. In sexual reproduction, offspring inherit genetic material from two parents, leading to greater diversity. Asexual reproduction involves only one parent, resulting in limited genetic variation among offspring.


What are the two main sources of genetic variation and which of them is more common?

The two main sources of genetic variation are sexual reproduction, and mutation. Sexual reproduction is more common.


Why does sexual reproduction provide more opportunities for genetic variation than sexual reproduction?

In sexual reproduction, offspring are not identical to either parent.


Does asexual reproduction contribute to sexual variation?

No. Asexual reproduction provides no diversity, as it creates an exact copy of the organism. Sexual reproduction, on the other hand, provides diversity by using and combining different genes each time to create an entirely new version of the organism.


What advantages does sexual reproduction provide for sponges?

Sexual reproduction means there is much greater scope for genetic variation of offspring. Variation is good for any species as it is this variation that allows for adaption e.g. the variation might provide some individuals with resistance to a new disease that affects the species, hence those individuals survive and thrive.


How does an microscope help study ecology?

Because you can look closer at the cells of plants and animals which allows you to learn more about their habits such as their diet and reproduction.
