Answer;

Advantages of sexual reproduction:

  • It provides genetic variation.

Disadvantages of sexual reproduction:

  • Not all mutations are passed on.
  • It is time and energy consuming.
  • The reproduction process is slow.

Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in which genetic information from two genders or sexes combine to produce a offspring. Both the gender produce gametes which fuse to form zygote which develops into an offspring.

There are several advantages and disadvantages associated with sexual reproduction as compared to the asexual reproduction.

The advantages are:

  • It provides genetic diversity to the species.
  • It naturally increases the levels of diseases resistance throughout the species.
  • It can lead to the incorporation of evolutionary advancements in a population.
  • It can give a rewarding experience specially in human beings as it releases dopamine in the brain.
  • It also helps in improving health, growth of brain cells, relieving pain, can act as anti-depressant etc.

The disadvantages are:

  • It is time and energy consuming process.
  • Reproduction is uncertain as it is not a 100% successful method for producing offspring.
  • Not all favorable variations or mutations are passed on to the next generation.
  • Number of offspring produced is usually low.

This is where individuals fall into a number of distinct  categories, and is based on features that cannot be measured across a complete range
continious variation refer to small, indistinct differences from the normal condition.
Milk yield in cows, for example, is determined not only by their genetic make-up but is also significantly affected by environmental factors such as pasture quality and diet, weather, and the comfort of their surroundings

Mitochondria are oval shaped organelles responsible for cellular respiration.

One of their defining characteristics

is the influx of protons from the mitochondrial membrane that enables ATP synthesis.

Mitochondria are known as the power house of the cell.

Structurally, mitochondria are spherocylindrical with a length of 2 microns and a diameter of 1 micron.
