What is the advantage of sexual reproduction if an organism is capable of reproducting asexually?
Sexual reproduction creates diversity, which in turn will increase the likelihood of survival for that population. By asexually reproducing, you eliminate these varieties and the population is more susceptible to death.
What are the advantage and disadvantage of reproducing by spores?
An advantage to reproducing through spores is that it can be done asexually. A disadvantage is that the spores will be clones of the original organism, leaving them vulnerable.
Why do geographical isolation is not regarded as a reproductive isolating mechanism?
Geographical isolation is not a cause of speciation in an asexually reproducing organism because the population is self-pollinating and would be less prone to the factors which results from geographical isolation.
What will an organism that reproduces asexually have an offspring as?
The offspring of an organism that reproduces asexually will be a genetic clone of the parent, carrying identical genetic material. This means that there is no genetic variation in the offspring, which can limit their ability to adapt to changing environments compared to sexually reproducing organisms.
When do organisms go through the mitosis process?
mitosis in sexually reproducing organisms is used for growth into a multicellular organism from the initial zygote. mitosis is also used for repair in response to a wound, etc. mitosis is used in asexually reproducing organisms for reproduction.the whole process
What is a Bud and where does it form on a organism that reproduces asexually?
It forms on the side of the organism.
What is the advantage of an organism the reproduces sexually rather than asexually?
An organism that reproduces sexually will have more genetic diversity than one that reproduces asexually.
Could a significant increase in sea organism population cause an increase in ocean level?
Not by much
What advantage do sexually reproducing organism have over asexually reproducing organism?
Sexual reproduction allows for twice the chance of an organisms offspring having a gene mutation, as the organisms DNA comes from two sources with differing genes. This increased chance means that the organism can evolve at a faster rate and therefore adapt more quickly, resulting in an advantage. The diversity in genetics of sexually reproducing organisms also reduces their susceptibility to mass infection / death. In addition, sexual reproduction is pleasurable in both humans and several primates, and this creates a stronger drive to reproduce.
What does the offspring of a sexually reproducing organism receives?
One half of each parent's chromosomes, and genetic variation, as opposed to those that reproduce asexually - the cells just split, so each generation afterward is genetically identical to the parent.
If an organism reproduces asexually, it’s offspring will be?
Clones
What kinds of organism reproduce asexually?
Bacteria, yeast, sponges
