Does sexual reproduction produce more offspring than asexual reproduction?
Asexual reproduction, such as binary fission, is simply a complete copy of anorganism. There is no genetic variation in the daughter organism from the primary organism. However, when sexual reproduction occurs, there are multiple parties contributing, which combines different genotypes.
What occurs when a new organism formed from the same organism?
Occurs when a new organism is formed from the same organism
What is the difference between selective breeding and natural selection?
In natural selection, the animals take time and evolve slowly. In selective breeding, humans can transfer genes from one organism into another organism.
Which of the following situations is most usual for a dominant allele that results in severe effects in the offspring?
The trait occurs by mutation.
What is the process of change that occurs during an organisms life to produce a more complex organism?
The correct answer is GROWTH and/or DEVELOPMENT... one of the characteristics of life... Evolution is the change in a species over a long period of time.... you would not notice these changes in an organism's life. ===================================== When an organism becomes more complex during its own life, that is called growth or growth and development.
What happens when a one celled organism divides?
Asexual reproduction occurs.
What happens when one celled organism divides?
Asexual reproduction occurs.
What form of asexual reproduction occurs when one organism divides into two organisms.?
Binary Fission
Will a mutation that occurs in a skin cell be passed on to organism offspring?
Depends on how likely the mutation is to occur (how dominate) and on the genetics of the other parent. If the offspring is a clone, the mutation will be passed from parent to clone.
When an organism of many cells breaks up into two or more parts and these parts survive to produce a new organism reproduction occurs by .?
Fragmentation occurs when an organism of many cells breaks into two or more parts and these parts survive to produce a new organism.
This form of asexual reproduction occurs when one organism divides into two organisms.?
Binary Fission
Asexual reproduction results in identical offspring unless what occurs?
Asexual reproduction results in identical offspring unless a mutation occurs. Mutation is a process wherein the genetic material of an organism is altered.
As a result of sexual reproduction an organism can pass a gene mutation to its offspring if the mutation occurs in?
germ cells
What type of reproductive occurs when animals produce clone offspring?
asexual
Why does spermatogenesis happen in a male?
Spermatogenesis occurs so that the sperm can join with an egg from a female and produce offspring.
What causes a feature in living things to change so that this change is passed to their offspring?
The change must happen in the gametes of the organism. More specifically the change must occurs in the DNA that is used to make up their offspring. The main cause of this change in creatures that re-produce sexually is the process of crossing over.
What will mutation do if it occurs in a sex cell?
There offspring with mutations
