Chapter 50, Problem 14TYU
Summary Introduction
To develop: A hypothesis to explain the reason why asexual reproduction is more common habitat with few
Introduction: Reproduction is the process by which the organisms propagate their species by the union of the male and females gametes. Sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction are the two types of reproduction. Sexual reproduction involves male and female gametes but asexual reproduction does not involve male and female gametes.

Students have asked these similar questions
Unicellular organisms such as bacteria depend on asexual reproduction. Why is sexual reproduction so common in multicellular organisms?
1 - because it produce more offspring
2 - because it creates genetic variation in the population
3 - because a sexual population can grow faster than an. Asexual population
4 - because it produces offspring that are identical to the parents
5 - because it requires less energy
Identify each of these statements as ones that describe asexual reproduction (A),sexual reproduction (S), or could describe both (B) forms of reproduction. Writeyour answer on the space provided before each number.B= BothA= Asexual ReproductionS= Sexual Reproduction1. organism does not need a mate to reproduce2. takes some time to create offspring-3. the offspring are not the exact copy of their parent/s4. it is a quick process5. does not need to develop special cells for reproduction6. environmental changes affect all individuals-7. may only be able to reproduce with a limited number or may notreproduce at all_8. offspring are reproduced9. characteristics are passed down to the next generation10. many new organisms are created in a short period of time11. dogs and cats reproduce this way12. amoeba, yeast and bacteria reproduce this way.13. plants reproduce this way14. production of gametes is necessary15. its purpose is the survival and continuity of species
Briefly compare and contrasts the advantage of asexual and sexual reproduction. Which one is most common in animals?

Why?arrow_forwardhow does sexual reproduction produce more complex offspring, produce a greater number of offspring, enhances the genetic variability, produce more evolutionary fit individual and Increases the survival rate of the species?arrow_forward
- What is NOT true about these statements on sexual reproduction? * 1 point Sexual reproduction is uniparental. Key processes in sexual reproduction are meiosis and fertilization. This process involves the production of sex cells or gametes. The union of two gametes resulting into a zygote is called fertilization.arrow_forwardSome organisms are capable of asexual or sexual reproduction. Under favorable conditions, reproduction proceeds asexually. When conditions become more stressful reproduction switches to a sexual mode. Why? Question options: Sexual reproduction is simple and more rapid allowing larger numbers of offspring to be produced. Sexual reproduction requires two separate individuals, who can mutually provide nutrient support during stress. Sexual reproduction produces individuals with new combinations of recombined chromosomes increasing diversity. Asexual reproduction requires more energy.arrow_forwardAsexual reproduction passes on 100% of the parent's genes but it is relatively rare. What are the advantages of sexual vs asexual reproduction? In some cases, species are hermaphrodites to reduce the difficulty in finding mates. What is the difference between simultaneous and sequential hermaphrodites? Why is "selfing" relatively rare?arrow_forward
