Answer:

Sexual reproduction:

Pros: leads to greater genetic variation.

Cons: requires more time and energy.

Asexual reproduction:

Pros: Does not require finding a mate.

Cons: Produce less genetic variation.

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in higher organisms, in which new individuals are formed by combining genetic information from two different types (sexes) of individuals.

Advantage: Sexual reproduction leads to higher genetic variation due to recombination between genetic material of female and male gamete during meiosis.

Disadvantage: Sexual reproduction is a time and energy consuming process as it needs interaction between mates and organisms which are produced sexually require more time for development.

Asexual reproduction involves formation of new organisms from a single parent organism without gamete fusion.

Advantage: Asexual reproduction requires less time and energy as it does not require finding a mate.

Disadvantage: Asexual reproduction produces less genetic variations as it involves only parent organisms (no mixing of genetic information) and the only source of variations are random mutations.

Answer:

        Sexual Reproduction                                 Asexual Reproduction

Pros Leads to a greater genetic variation          Does not require   finding a mate

Cons Require more time and energy                   Produce less genetic variation

Explanation:

Asexual mode of reproduction is the most simple and fastest mode of reproduction. Some common modes of asexual reproduction are – binary fission, budding, sporation, branching, etc.  

Asexual reproduction is a fast reproduction process in which genetically identical offspring are produced. It generally takes place in simpler unicellular organism or plants.  

While in sexual reproduction, genetically varied offspring are produced and also it requires two mates to intercourse therefore it is a time taking process as well

Hence, the correct match is

   Sexual Reproduction                                 Asexual Reproduction

Pros Leads to a greater genetic variation          Does not require   finding a mate

Cons Require more time and energy                   Produce less genetic variation

Which of the following does NOT
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

D. Lots of vegetation

Explanation:

Urban heat islands form when cities replace natural land cover with dense concentrations of heat-absorbing pavement, buildings, and other surfaces. This has the impact of raising energy prices (for example, air conditioning), air pollution levels, and heat-related sickness and mortality.

Practicing three-point shots to improve free-throw accuracy contradicts the _________ principle of exercise.
vodomira [7]
Practicing three point shots to improve free throw accuracy contradicts the SPECIFICITY principle of exercise.
The specificity principle of exercise states that, to become an expert in a particular exercise or skill one should perform that exercise or skill. That is, the things that one do during physical activity should be relevant to one desired outcomes, thus, the training regimen must go from general to specific during training.

Which statement is true about the environment of urban areas
emmasim [6.3K]

The promise of jobs and prosperity, among other factors, pulls people to cities. Half of the global population already lives in cities, and by 2050 two-thirds of the world's people are expected to live in urban areas. But in cities two of the most pressing problems facing the world today also come together: poverty and environmental degradation.
