<h3><u>An area can qualify as a biodiversity hotspot if it meets the following two conditions: </u></h3>
  • The area must have at least "1500 species of vascular endemic plants". In other words, the area must have "high percentage of plant life" which is not found anywhere else on the earth and is unique to that particular area.
  • The area must have lost at least 70% of its native vegetation. The area must be a threatened area and must not have more than 30% of the native vegetation remaining.

Drag each tile to the correct location on the chart. What are the pros and cons of sexual and asexual reproduction?
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Sexual reproduction:

Pros: leads to greater genetic variation.

Cons: requires more time and energy.

Asexual reproduction:

Pros: Does not require finding a mate.

Cons: Produce less genetic variation.

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in higher organisms, in which new individuals are formed by combining genetic information from two different types (sexes) of individuals.

Advantage: Sexual reproduction leads to higher genetic variation due to recombination between genetic material of female and male gamete during meiosis.

Disadvantage: Sexual reproduction is a time and energy consuming process as it needs interaction between mates and organisms which are produced sexually require more time for development.

Asexual reproduction involves formation of new organisms from a single parent organism without gamete fusion.

Advantage: Asexual reproduction requires less time and energy as it does not require finding a mate.

Disadvantage: Asexual reproduction produces less genetic variations as it involves only parent organisms (no mixing of genetic information) and the only source of variations are random mutations.
