well even though this is incredibly unlikely, there is a simple answer. the offspring would be unable to produce completely healthy offspring themselves this offspring would usually have some sort of disorder. that is if the 1st offspring were male female identical. if not, if they are all one sex then they would just not be able to mate. there fore in both instances the population would die out. no 3rd generation
sex
If a population has abudant space and foor, and is protected from predators and disease, then organisms in that population will multiply and the population size will increase.
It would be the opposite of a population explosion. The population would decrease drastically and rapidly instead of increasing.
The population will have more possible adaptations. a[ex just gave me the answer
Thomas Malthus was the economist who predicted that the population would outpace the food supply.
no. Since they are identical, their phenotype, or physical appearance, would be identical as well. hope that helps :)
The offspring of a asexual organism will always be identical to the parent cell because it is never gaining new information like it would if it were sexual.
The characteristic of a population that would most likely indicate the lowest potential for evolutionary change in that population would be asexual reproduction. This is because the offspring are identical to the parent.
The majority of the offspring population has functioning wings.
i believe its c. produce identical offspring...
None of the offspring would have colored spots..
No, the offspring of identical parents would not always look like the parents because everyone has dominant and recessive traits, where the recessive traits do not show but is still in DNA. That said, recessive traits not shown in parents can be passed on as dominant traits to offspring - making offspring not always identical to its parents. (this is also called genetic variation)
Sort of, yes. Meiosis gives offspring a random mixture of their parents genes. The likelihood of multiple offspring having the same random mixture is very small, but very similar mixtures happen frequently and result in strong family resemblance. Offspring aren't identical to each other because they get these different mixtures. If each child had DNA identical to one of their parents then there would be a 50% chance for two children born to the same parents to look exactly the same.
The population would grow massively out of check and leaders would have to turn to methods of reducing the population such as a one child policy. Otherwise the earth's resources would be depleted. . :}
That would be a very unusual situation. Note that due to the normal process of genetic reshuffling that is involved in human reproduction, the children of the two couples would not be genetically identical even though their parents are.
remain the same
