Answer:

advantages of sexual reproduction:

it produces variation in the offspring

the species can adapt to new environments due to variation, which gives them a survival advantage

a disease is less likely to affect all the individuals in a population

disadvantages of sexual reproduction:

time and energy are needed to find a mate

it is not possible for an isolated individual

advantages of asexual reproduction

the population can increase rapidly when the conditions are favourable

only one parent is needed

it is more time and energy efficient as you don't need a mate

Disadvantages of asexual reproduction

it does not lead to variation in a population

the species may only be suited to one habitat

disease may affect all the individuals in a population

Is the escape of a rattlesnake from a zoo exhibit an example of an invasive species?
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

No, it isn't

Explanation:

An invasive species is characterized by an organism's appearance in an area it is not a native of, with a high capacity of reproduction that will cause it to be a threat to native species in that area. A species of organism is tagged "invasive" if it is foreign to a region/location and possess a high reproductive rate that spreads fast and causes harm to other species.

Based on the analogy given in this question about the escape of a rattlesnake from a zoo, it cannot be ascertained that it is an example of invasive species. This is because rattlesnakes may be native to that area and possess a zero threat level to the environment in terms of high spreading rate.
