What is the advange and disadvange of asexual reproduction?

Answer 1

Advantage: Asexual reproduction can quickly result in large numbers of offspring.

Disadvantage: Asexual reproduced offspring generally identical - so they will respond to their environment in the same way.

Answer 2

ADVANTAGE;

It does not require a reproductive partner and thus it can readily reproduce at a higher rate. Since there is only one parent, the beneficial/targeted traits will certainly be passed down to its offspring every generation.

DISADVANTAGE;

Since there is only one parent, the DNA of the offspring will not undergo genetic variation (that is to say, the crossing over of chiasma at Prophase I of Meiosis) and thus the offspring will be less susceptible to specifically-targeted viruses and diseases which can potentially wipe out the entire population.

Answer 3

Advantage of asexual reproduction: it doesn't require a mateDisadvantage of asexual reproduction: the diseases that one cell catches is passed on to the next

Answer 4

1. One advantage is that it is much quicker and faster than sexual reproduction
2. One disadvantages is it doesn't have much variations in spices

Answer 5

Asexual reproduction insures a parents strengths are passed to the offspring. Similarly though, new genetic material is not incorporated and improvement is slow.
