A class is debating the advantages and disadvantages of different types of reproduction. One student argues that organisms that

reproduce asexually, like bacteria, have no advantage over organisms that reproduce sexually.
Which of the following choices below represents an argument for the advantages of asexual reproduction?
A. Organisms that reproduce asexually are likely to find a mate at a faster rate than sexually reproducing organisms, which allows them to reproduce faster.
B. Organisms that reproduce asexually are more diverse and are more likely to pass on key genes for survival to future generations, which aids in maintaining beneficial genes for survival in the gene pool
C. Organisms that reproduce asexually gain variation through processes like crossing over, which allows survival in instances of ecological change
D. Organisms that reproduce asexually create a large amount of offspring in a short period of time in order to maintain their population

Answer: D. Organisms that reproduce asexually create a large amount of offspring in a short period of time in order to maintain their population.

Explanation:

When an organism is able to reproduce asexually as opposed to sexually, it means that they do not require a mate to make offspring. Offspring of such organisms will therefore receive all their genes from one source.

Such organisms are able to reproduce very fast when they are presented with adequate conditions especially because they do not need another organism to do so. They will neither have to waste much energy nor have to go through the whole sexual process so they will be able to produce lots of offspring.

Hypothesize why only one genus and species remains in the hominin group
laiz [17]
<span>Modern humans have been around for a very short period of time. There are differences in race, asian people tend to be smaller, stuff like that. The problem is different races marry and those genes mix. If Asians only married pure blood Asians, Africans only married and procreated with other Africans thanks in hundreds of thousands of years different sub species would most likely start to occur. Seeing as how human population is all connected today, that won't happen.</span>
