Some animals are primarily asexual in their reproduction, but they have the ability to switch to sexual reproduction under certa

in conditions. Why might an animal that generally reproduces asexually make this switch to sexual reproduction?

Answer:

To develop more favourable traits in offspring for survival.

I'm no bio expert but from my understanding, it's better to reproduce sexually to broaden the gene pool and allow for the offspring to develop better traits for survival.

for example if the parent is susceptible to a certain disease then asexual will cause the offspring to also be susceptible. however, through sexual reproduction with a parent who is immune, the offspring could be immune as well.

Hope that helps

storchak [24]

Answer:

They can use the host cell to copy themselves and make viral proteins

Explanation:

Viruses are organisms that are incapable of replicating on their own without infecting a living host. They use the host's ability to transcribe, translate and replicate to replicate themselves and translate their genetic material into proteins. The infection cycle represents their reproductive cycle.

Viruses infect their host cell by initially binding to specific receptors on the host's cell membrane. Then, they enter the host cell and incorporate their genetic material into the host's genome. They, then, use the replicational ability of their host to produce many virions and make proteins.
