Evolution can only be seen through generations. Natural selection allows those that have the advantageous genes to live, and others to die out. Therefore, it takes many generations to see the effects of evolution on a species.

Increasing sexual reproduction allows the turnover of generations to be quicker. Since we can only see the changes in future generations of a species, more reproduction will let those generations get here quicker, and therefore evolution can occur faster.

Is vegetative reproduction a very slow process?

Vegetative reproduction can vary in speed depending on the plant species and environmental conditions. Generally, it can be a relatively quick process, as many plants can produce new shoots, roots, or offshoots rapidly under favorable conditions. However, some species may take longer to establish new individuals. Overall, it's typically faster than sexual reproduction, which involves seed formation and germination.


Do cool temperatures speed up the process of decay?

No, but hot temperatures do.


What is the four steps process of an enzyme at work?

Speed, reaction, function, and alter.


What type of asexual reproduction do plants use?

Asexual Reproduction (also known as vegetative reproduction) of plants is reproducing without using sex cells - through mitosis only! Asexual reproduction does not require more than one parent plant, it is fast and does not use the same amount of energy as the production of flowers, fruit and seed. Normally speed is a vital to plant when growing conditions are optimal; in less than optimal or uncertain conditions the production of seed is a more long-term option of reproduction. Asexulally produced plants are are genetically identical. During asexual reproduction no genetic "mixing" (or hybridization) of material takes place, this can be a disadvantage in some instances, as the "gene pool" does not increase and plants may be less able withstand climatic or other external changes.


Is eroding natural?

Erosion is a natural process, but human actions can speed it up significantly.

What benefit does asexual reproduction offer in comparison to sexual reproduction?

Asexual reproduction offers the benefit of efficiency and speed in producing offspring, as it only requires one parent and does not involve the complexities of finding a mate. This can allow for rapid population growth and colonization in stable environments.


How can asexual reproduction be an advantage for species over sexual reproduction?

For creatures whose primary reproductive strategy is to produce a huge numbers of copies, such as bacteria, sexual reproduction isn't as viable. The main advantage would be speed in which new individuals are generated perhaps, whereas a huge disadvantage is that the genepool of species is kept relatively poor in terms of variablilty.


Is the evolutionary change sudden?

Evolutionary change can occur gradually over time through a process known as gradualism, or it can happen rapidly in short bursts through a process called punctuated equilibrium. The speed of change can vary depending on the environmental pressures and genetic factors involved.


What factor made evolution move very slowly for the 2 billion years of life on earth?

One factor that contributed to the slow pace of evolution over the 2 billion years of life on Earth was the limited genetic variation and the lack of mechanisms for rapid adaptation. Without mechanisms such as sexual reproduction or mutations, organisms were constrained by their existing genetic blueprints, which limited the speed at which significant evolutionary changes could occur.

Can sexual intercourse speed up the delivery of a baby?

No. You can have sexual intercourse when you're pregnant, though it might feel a little different
