The following are the disadvantages of sexual reproduction:
1. Sexual reproduction requires a male and female partner, without the two coming together reproduction can not take place. Getting a partner might be difficult if there is disparity between the number of males and females in the area.
2. Sexual reproduction takes time and energy. The process is labour intensive and time consuming. For example, the male animal needs to court the female animal and build emotional connection before copulation can occur. Not all copulations are successful at the first attempt, some animals may have to copulate several time before fertilization occur.
3. Sexual reproduction reproduce fewer offspring than asexual reproduction.
4. Sexual reproduction can prevent favourable genes from being passed to the offspring.

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in synthesis and transportation of of lipids while rough endoplasmic reticulum contains ribosomes which are responsible for synthesis of proteins, therefore rough ER is involved in transportation of proteins. A few proteins are synthesized in the mitochondria and the plastids. Therefore, proteins synthesized elsewhere other than the rough ER are the Mitochondrial proteins

Feliz [49]

Answer:

All of the genes controlling the traits behaved as if they were located on different chromosomes.

Explanation:

Mendel's experiments with pea plants lead to two principles:

  • Law of segregation which states that the pair of alleles (for any trait) of each parent separate, meaning that one allele passes from father and another from mother  to an offspring.
  • Law of independent assortment which states that different pairs of alleles (for different traits) are passed to offspring independently of each other (traits are located on different chromosomes).
