Cells in the body, apart from the sex cells, reproduce by mitosis, a form of asexual reproduction where the chromosomes are identical in both the parent and the daughter cells.

What allows organisms to reproduce?

In asexual reproduction the duplication of the nucleus (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telaphase)(mitosis) and binary fission make it possible to duplicate, or in sexual reproduction, the duplication of the nucleus and splitting of the nuclei (meiosis) allow four separate gametes to be produced (each one could bond with a gamete from another sex to form another organism).


Are protists asexual or sexual?

Protists can reproduce both asexually and sexually. Asexual reproduction methods include binary fission, budding, and spore formation, while sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes from different individuals.


What reprouce from asexual reproudction?

Bacteria are usually the only living things that reproduce asexually. Asexual Reproduction involve only one parent and the offspring could be described as a clone.

Why is asexual reproduction is a good method of reproduction?

Advantages: Quick, no need to find a mate, if immune to a disease, all will be immuneDisadvantages: No evolution and variation, if suceptible to disease, all will be, can enhance good charcteristics,Well, for starters, the obvious one is that the organism does not need to look for a mate. The time spent looking for a mate could be wasted, but in asexual reproduction, all the organism needs is itself. Like an amoeba splitting into two. A disadvantage to asexual reproduction is that the original organism is destroyed, making two new organisms in its place.


What happens if there is no sexual reproduction?

this obviously means that there will be no babies. that's with sexual reproduction(with two animals) and theres a posssiblilty that the organism could be asexual which means it makes babies by itself... :D hope this helps


What are the three functions of mitosis?

Cells undergo mitosis in three ways. first to grow second replicate the chromosome and finally, divide the nucieus and became 2 daughters. "This is the part of the process not the actual reason" I found 3 ways, 1 to restore dying cells 2 to repair damaged cells 3 reproduce Hope this helps


What might be the evoluntionary significance of the swicth from asexual to sexual reproduction when the environment changes?

Environmental changes almost demand variation in organisms so that the best fitted to the changing environment survive and reproduce in a greater number. Asexual reproduction produces clones with little to no genetic variation. Good enough for a static environment, but in a challenging environment with no variation that could be more beneficial than cloning the asexual species could find itself selected against.


What role do mushroom play in fungi reproduction?

In sexual reproduction, spore are produced by meiosis. In asexual reproduction, spore are produced by mitosis. Sexual reproduction results in genetic diversity. Asexual reproduction allows fungi to spread rapidly. Most fungi reproduce both sexually and asexualy


How is a species benefited by having a life cycle that includes both sexual and asexual reproduction?

Sexual reproduction is highly beneficial as it provides a means for beneficial genes to be rapidly shared through-out a species. You could look at it as a sort of communal evolution where one favourable trait can be extended to the whole of the species within a 'short' period of time. Sexual creatures are also (by virtue of their reproductive scheme) able to keep a sort of catalogue of genetic traits handy should conditions suddenly change and quick evolution be required. In asexual reproduction a favourable mutation would be the beginnings of a new species and would benefit only the direct descendants of the original mutation. Asexual reproduction however would allow a single individual to have children if isolated or unable to meet the precise conditions for mating. It frees the asexual reproducer from the cost of maintaining sexual equipment and reproductive scheduling, often a considerable expense. For these reasons asexual species are often robust and survivalists.
