Answer:Asexual Reproduction Sexual Reproduction

Advantages Time Efficient; no need to search for mate, requires less energy Variation, Unique., organism is more protected

Disadvantages No variation - if the parent has a genetic disease, offspring does too. Requires two organisms, requires more energy

Explanation:While asexual reproduction only involves one organism, sexual reproduction requires both a male and a female. Some plants and unicellular organisms reproduce asexually. Most mammals and fish use sexual reproduction. Some organisms like corals and komodo dragons can reproduce either sexually or asexually. But in the long term (over several generations), lack of sexual reproduction compromises their ability to adapt to the environment because they do not benefit from the genetic variation introduced by sexual reproduction

How do the nervous system and endocrine system differ in regards to managing homeostasis?

Citrus2011 [14]

Hello friend!!
The biggest difference between the two is that the nervous system uses electrical impulses to send signals through neurons, whereas the hormonal system uses chemical messengers transported into blood plasma to target cells.
Transmission by the nervous system is short-lived but quick, whereas transmission by the hormonal system is long-lasting but takes much longer. Hene, communication is faster when using the nervous system.
In the nervous system, responses are localised - whereas in the hormonal system, they are widespread. Responses are often permanent in the hormonal system, but temporary and reversible in the nervous system.
Hope It Helps!!All The Best!!

What are the three inference (conclusions) Darwin made based on his observations?

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

1. A Struggle for Survival

2. survival will reproduce

3. Superior adaptive variation

Explanation:

1. Observation: overproduction of offspring that can possibly survive.

CONCLUSION: A Struggle for Survival, most of this offspring fight for food and water.

2. Observation: variation in species: member of the same species have different ways of identification, which are color, sex, e.t.c

CONCLUSION: Those individuals that survive and reproduce do so in consequence of "superior adaptive variation" (they are "more fit")

3. Observation: Variation heritable through selection: most survival pass there favourable adaptation to their offspring.

CONCLUSION: Superior adaptive variation will be passed on to offspring generation.
