What are Problems in the biological species concept?
There are two main problems that can be identified in the biological species concept. This concept emphiasizes interfertility between organisms. However, reproductive barriers between sexual reproducing species are not always effective. Sometimes, individuals of different species interbreed and produce offspring call hybrids. Also this concept fails to describe species that are predominantly asexual in their reproduction, including all bacteria as well as some protists, fungi, plants, and even a few animals.
What Dinobryon is a species of protozoa that reproduces asexually How can this asexual reproduction be harmful to the species?
Dinobryon is a species of protozoa that reproduces asexual. This can be harmful to the species because they have less genetic diversity in their population.
What are the differences between species that require sexual reproduction and species that require asexual reproduction?
ones a hore and the others not
How might an organism reproduce without a mate?
Asexual Reproduction There are many different species that have the ability to reproduce without a mate. The majority are single celled organisms with a few rare cases in which multicellular organisms reproduce without a mate. There is no specific term that encapsulates the entire spectrum of these reproducers, however the term for reproducing without a mate is Asexual Reproduction. A more exact term would be Agamogenesis.
How is it better for the survival of the species for the Protozoa to produce asexually instead of sexually?
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.
Which concept applies to asexually reproducing species?
some bacteria...
Sexually-reproducing species have an advantage over asexually-reproducing species in there ability to?
Sexually-reproducing species are able to adapt more easily than asexual-reproduciing species
Are parrots asexual?
No. All birds are sexual creatures, reproducing by the male and female of the species mating.
What type of organism is species a difficult term to define?
It's not so much the organism or a type of organism that is difficult to define as a species but rather the differences in the theories regarding the definition of the word 'species'. For example the Biological species concept and phylogenetic species concept can be at odds when looking at convergent/parallel evolution.

Why does a sexually-reproducing species have an advantage over asexually-reproducing species?
Sexually-reproducing species have an advantage over asexually-reproducing species in their ability to use two different sex cells.
Sexually-reproducing species have an advantage over asexually-reproducing species in their ability to?
adapt
Dinobryon is a species of protozoa that reproduces asexual. How can this asexual reproduction be harmful to the species?
They have less genetic diversity in their population.
Which organisms are reproducing asexually?
There are tons of organisms that reproduce asexually. As for ANIMALS - A lot of species of fish do (some sharks partake in parthenogenesis - a type of asexual reproduction), some species of wasps, whiptail lizards, sea anemones, coral, starfish, snails. All fungi, bacteria, Archaea, Protist and amoebas reproduce asexually. Some plants are capable of reproducing asexually, such as strawberry, onions and potatoes.
Why is it particularly difficult for the systematist to classify asexually reproducing organisms as a species?
Asexually reproducing organisms do not interbreed
What Dinobryon is a species of protozoa that reproduces asexually How can this asexual reproduction be harmful to the species?
Dinobryon is a species of protozoa that reproduces asexual. This can be harmful to the species because they have less genetic diversity in their population.
An advantage of asexual reproduction is that?
that you get a baby. or that you need a partner
