The main advantage of asexual reproduction is that you don't need to find a mate. If sexual species cannot find a mate, they cannot reproduce and their genes die with them. Asexual species can reproduce whenever they have food, however. No mate is required.

Why is its advantageous for a redwood to reproduce sexually when it could reproduce asexually instead?

It increases the genetic diversity of the tree's offspring.


Is jellyfish binary fission?

Jellyfish do not reproduce via binary fission; instead, they primarily reproduce through a process called asexual budding or sexual reproduction. In their life cycle, jellyfish go through a polyp stage, where they can reproduce asexually by budding, and a medusa stage, which is the adult form that can reproduce sexually by releasing eggs and sperm into the water. Binary fission is more commonly found in simpler organisms like bacteria and some protozoa, not in jellyfish.


Protozoa which are not capable of independent movement?

Non-motile protozoa rely on external forces for movement, such as water currents or host organisms. These protozoa typically lack structures like flagella or pseudopods that enable independent movement. Instead, they may adapt by attaching to a surface or living as parasites within a host.


Protozoa are heterotrophic This means they?

rely on other organisms for nutrients instead of producing their own through photosynthesis. Protozoa obtain their food by ingesting other organisms or by absorbing organic matter from their environment.


Does the development of protozoa involve an embryonic stage?

Protozoa do not undergo an embryonic stage in the way that multicellular organisms do. Instead, they typically reproduce through processes like binary fission, budding, or spore formation, leading to the direct development of new individuals from single cells. Some protozoa can exhibit complex life cycles that include different forms or stages, but these do not resemble embryonic development.

How is it better for the survival of the species for the protozoa to reproduce asexually instead of sexually?

Advantages of Asexual reproduction are as follows:This type of reproduction enable organisms to reproduce without a mate.It does not require the time and energy that takes to search a mate.It results in the reproduction of large number of offspring rapidly.Like in plants, it enables to spread and colonize an area in short period of time.Animals that are confined to one particular place and unable to look for a mate reproduce asexually.Stable environments with very little change are favorable for organisms to reproduce asexually.


Do flamingos reproduce sexually?

No, hornets do not actually reproduce sexually. Instead, they reproduce asexually. This means they do not need a partner of the opposite gender to reproduce.


What is the advantages of sexual reproductive?

You can transmit new genetic improvements to your offspring. For example, if there is a sudden famine, a species that produces sexually instead of asexually will be better able to have future generations adapt faster.

Do all animals have sperm?

No, not all animals have sperm. Amoebas and some other protists are technically animals but reproduce asexually instead of with sperm and eggs.


Can an amoeba and hydra reproduce like human beings?

If I am correct, they are simple cell organisms, meaning they have no need of sexual reproduction. Instead, they bud, or asexually reproduce.
