<span>Potatoes are also known as tubers and they commonly make up most of the carbohydrate needs that the body can get from food. It is made up of parenchyma tissue that makes the plant have the ability of cloning and low metabolic activity. They are commonly used for experimentation as a “model tissue” because of these characteristics. <span>

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.
