Asexual reproduction

Further Explanation:

The asexual reproduction is a simple process in which a large number of offsprings are produced in a short period. Asexual reproduction is a process in which offspring arises from a single parent. The offspring produced are identical copies of each other (clones). The genetic makeup of all offspring is similar. The process does not involve gamete formation and fusion. Single-celled organisms like bacteria and archaea reproduce by asexual reproduction. Prokaryotes reproduce by asexual method whereas eukaryotic cells undergo mitotic division. Sexual reproduction involves two parents who produce unique offspring.  

Types of asexual reproduction are as follows-

1. Binary fission

2. Budding

3. Vegetative propagation

 

Asexual reproduction is an energy-efficient process. The offsprings produced are very large in number so the chances of survival increase with increased population size.

The major drawback of asexual reproduction is that it restricts the process of evolution. The offspring produced are very large in number so they have to compete for the nutrient and available space. Asexual reproduction is responsible for genetic diversity loss. The organisms produced have similar gene content so a small change in the environment can lead to the extinction of the whole population.

Answer:  Asexual reproduction

Explanation:

Many organisms (like bacteria) and plants undergo asexual reproduction. Species that produce via asexual reproduction can produce up to 600 offspring’s in one season. Asexual reproduction does not involve six cells or fertilization, only one parent is involved so there is no fusion of gametes and no mixing of genetic information, all offspring’s are clones. Budding occurs in plants when they undergo asexual reproduction and starfishes cut themselves in halves and they grow to form a new starfish.

Asexual reproduction is rapid and reproduce their species in a large number

Three linked autosomal loci were studied in cucumbers: fruit color (dark vs. light), tendril size (long vs. reduced) and fruitin
Zina [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Progeny observed in the experiment is calculated by adding all the progeny numbers observed in the :

TIME TO FRUIT                TENDRIL SIZE        FRUIT COLOR       NUMBER

 

 Normal                             normal                      dark                        370

 normal                              normal                      light                        32

 early                                  normal                      light                        971

 early                                   normal                     dark                         28

 early                                  reduced                    dark                          25

 early                                   reduced                   light                          483

 normal                                reduced                   light                          36

 normal                                reduced                    dark                         810

                                                                               TOTAL

                                                                                PROGENCY           <u>2755</u>

Why is ability to adjust conclusions were necessary important to critical thinking
Zinaida [17]
When new information leads to new and different conclusions, it is important to be able to adapt to the most up-to-date conclusions. If conclusions are rigid and fixed regardless of any new information that may come to light, then they are not truly based on the facts under discussion.
