Why do organisms that reproduce asexually reproduce in less time than those that reproduce sexually?
The simplest example would be of single celled animals.
A single celled animal that reproduces by fission need only consume and convert sufficient resources to divide, producing two animals of similar size.
A single celled organism that reproduces by budding requires fewer resources yet as it is producing a much smaller version of itself.
The same single celled animal must, in order to reproduce sexually, find another animal of the same type, both must have sufficient resources to pair, exchange genetic material and then at least one of them must acquire the energy to divide,
producing new organisms.
Even at the single celled level it is easy to see the time differential between asexual and sexual reproduction.

Do organisms have the ability to reproduce both asexually and sexually?
One example is an "aphid".
Is the biological species concept is useful only for extinct organisms?
No, the biological species concept can be applied to both extant and extinct organisms. It is a useful framework for defining species based on reproductive isolation and gene flow within populations, regardless of whether those populations currently exist or not.
How can fern plant reproduce by both sexually and asexually?
fern rhizomes grow branches that can be separated from the plant and grow on its own
How does the Diatoms reproduce?
A Didinium is a protist that feeds by ingesting bacteria (bacteriovorus) through a mouth-like opening at the anterior end of the cell. The cell has an equatorial gridle of cilia, with a second gridle surrounding the anterior end. Cilia may assist in sweeping bacteria toward opening.
How does wildflowers reproduce?
Wildflowers reproduce through a variety of methods, including seed dispersal by wind, animals, or water. They can also self-pollinate or cross-pollinate with the help of insects. Some wildflowers may reproduce through underground rhizomes or bulbs.

Do grasshoppers reproduce sexually or asexually?
They reproduce sexually. After the female lays the eggs, most of the young grasshoppers life is lived in those eggs, until it goes through the stages of larvae. After the larvil stages, it lives a month or so as a nymph, or young grasshopper. After reaching full adulthood they live up to about three months, then die.
What are some examples of species that reproduce sexually?
More plants produce sexually than those which produce asexually. The result of sexual reproduction is the seed, therefore the easiest to produce a list of sexually producing plants is to see what plants produce seed. Examples: Pansy, petunia, marigold, peas, beans etc.
How do snakes reproduce asexually?
Only if it is a species that can this ability to do so for snakes and reptiles is called parthenogenesis. Most snakes species do not have the ability to reproduce asexually, but there are a few, this form of asexual reproduction is called parthenogenesis. This is extremely rare. In parthenogenesis, the offspring are always an exact clone of the mother as the mother use her own complete DNA to create them. there have been 3 cases where one of the offspring was male, though scientist think that those cases are fakes.

Why is mitosis is essential to an organisms survival?
It isn't ... except for those minority organisms that depend on sex to reproduce.
Does a leopard frog reproduce sexually or asexually?
Leopard frogs reproduce sexually, meaning they require both male and female individuals to produce offspring. During the breeding season, male leopard frogs will call out to attract females, and mating occurs when a female selects a mate. The female will then lay eggs, which are fertilized externally by the male. This sexual reproduction process allows for genetic diversity in the offspring, contributing to the species' overall survival and adaptation to changing environments.
Does the presence of nuclei in fungi as well as its ability to reproduce asexually distinguish from bacteria?
Those are two of many characteristics that distinguish fungi from bacteria.
