Asexual Reproduction occurs when there is only one parent that gives rise to an offspring which has the identical genetic makeup

of the parent. It occurs in most single celled organisms such as bacteria and some multicellular organisms such as fungi and some plants. Some advantages of asexual reproduction are it is fast and efficient. It does not require a male and a female. Organisms can reproduce quickly! A disadvantage is that there is no genetic diversity and it can only be done by simple organisms.
Sexual Reproduction involves the combining of genetic information from two parents to produce a new organism that is a combination of both parents. It occurs in most complex organisms. Some advantages to sexual reproduction are that it creates genetic diversity. It allows for evolution of the species. A disadvantage is that it requires two organisms to reproduce, a male and a female. It also requires more energy than asexual reproduction.

Using the table below, list at least two advantages and disadvantages of Asexual and Sexual Reproduction.

iragen [17]

Answer:

ice age/ Quaternary glaciation

Explanation:

Ice ages have occurred in the earth history and do occur more or less regularly in a cycle. It is believed that ice ages are as a result of small changes in the earth's orbit and also dependent on the solar cycles. The temperatures on the earth reduce causing the ice sheets in the poles to extend to the subtropics.
