Question

Sapling Learning Plants can reproduce either by sexual reproduction or by asexual reproduction. Classify each of the advantages and disadvantages below as characteristics of sexual or asexual r on in plants. Sexual reproduction Asexual reproduction low energy cost to reproduction efficient method of reproduction no genetic variation among offspring only one parent is required reproduction occurs relatively slowly requires both a male most reproductive efforts and female gamete do not produce offspring resulting population is less susceptible to disease epidemics

Explanation / Answer

sexual reproduction-require both a male and female gamete to mate

efficient method of reproduction

reproduction occurs relatively slow-can take several months

Asexual reproduction-only one parent is required-occured by Fission, budding , or regeneration

No genetic variation among offspring-crossing over or gene exchange does not happened

low energy cost to reproduction- no need to search for mate

resulting population is very low and susceptible to disease epidemics-Because of the no genetic variation if the parent has a genetic disease, offspring does too.

most reproductive efforts do not produce offspring because does nor required fertilization
