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

valentina_108 [34]
For the first question the answer is C. We know this because Dalton considered matter to be composed of very tiny indivisible particles called atoms which means it can't be further subdivided and thus no sub-atomic particles. And for the second question the answer is the Last one: <span>Ernest Rutherford. The rest of them did not give evidence of the existence of a nucleus or gave poor evidence. Hope this helps</span>

kipiarov [429]

b. Mutation is always harmful to an organism’s survival.

Explanation:

when mutation occur they can cause termination (death) of an organism or they can be partially lethal. this means that a organism has difficulty adapting to and surviving in its environment.

NB: mutations are usually the cause of many diseases and defects in an organisms life

What evidence does the cladogram provide
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
A phylogeny is a hypothesized relationship between groups of creatures that is represented by a cladogram. A scientist investigating phylogenetic systematics uses a cladogram to depict the groups of species being studied, their relationships, and their most common ancestors.
