Asexual
Pro:
1. inexpensive to make offspring (usually make a lot at a time and not invest a lot of time in raising them).
2. Do not need a mate to reproduce.
3. Can rapidly expand a population
Con:
1. genetically identical- prone to extinction because once a parasite has evolved to attack a specific genotype, it can kill them all.
2. Lineages usually don't last longer than a couple thousand years
Sexual:
Pros:
1. Genetically unique- so more likely to create a "successful" offspring
2. Lineages more likely to last hundreds of thousands of years
Cons:
1. More effort into creating offspring- require more parental effort
2. STD's- easily to pass
3. need to find a mate or else won't be successful as an organism.
Hope this helps you.

a parasite is an organism that lives inside a host and benefits from taking away nutrients at the others expense
Answer:
Seafloor spreading and other tectonic activity processes are the result of mantle convection. ... Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries. As tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat from the mantle's convection currents makes the crust more plastic and less dense.
