Describe the major disadvantages of asexual and sexual reporduction

Biology
2 answers:
Natasha2012 [34]2 years ago
6 0

I know that asexual reproduction is disavantageous because all traits and defects will be passed onto offspring. For example, say a mother has a genetic blood disease. If she were to reporduce on her own asexually, that disease would for sure be passed down to her offspring. But, with sexual reproduction, there's a 50/50 the offspring won't be born with that genetic disease.

Answer:

Asexual- No variation - if the parent has a genetic disease, offspring does too. Sexual- Requires two organisms, requires more energy

Natalka [10]
This varieation can be justified because since they had different variations they probably had different niches which led them to evolve differently,this will help because the two species will have no competition

Which best explains how binary fission contributes to the genetic continuity of a population? A Binary fission maintains genetic
kozerog [31]

Answer:

B Binary fission maintains genetic continuity because the daughter cells contain the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Explanation:

Genetic continuity ensures that genetic information is passed from one generation to another in correct way so that the resultant progeny has the complete set of genes required for survival. For example, at the end of mitosis, daughter cells should have the same number of chromosomes as parent cell.

Binary fission is a method of reproduction in some organisms like bacteria. It is an asexual mode of reproduction in which the parent cell splits into daughter cells without the process of fusion with another cell. It still maintains genetic continuity because the daughter cells are identical to the parent cell and thus have same number of chromosomes and type of genes.
