| What is Asexual Reproduction? How does it Happen? | -This is another way of making Offspring, and it only requires one Parent
-This happens through Mitosis, so an Ordinary Cell splits into 2, which has the Same Genetic Information as the Parent, making it a Clone |
| Who can do Asexual Reproduction? | -Bacteria
-Some Plants
-Some Animals |
| What are the Advantages of Asexual Reproduction? | -Its a very Quick method of creating Offspring, Bacteria split every Half an Hour
-Only one Parent is needed, which means Organisms can just Reproduce when they feel like it, without waiting |
| What are the Disadvantages of Asexual Reproduction? | -No Genetic Variation in the Offspring, which means if the Environment change for the Worst, the Whole Species can be under Threat because they all have the Same Genetic Information [So same Weaknesses] |
| What are the Advantages of Sexual Reproduction? | -Genetic Variation is Present in the Population, so if the Environment Changes, some will be Better Adapted to it already due to it having Characteristics letting them Live
-This is the Basis of Evolution, being Better Adapted to the Environment means you can Dominate it |
| What are the Disadvantages of Sexual Reproduction? | -Sexual takes more Time and Energy compared to Asexual due to finding Mates and Attracting them, so that means Fewer Offspring's will be Made
-2 Parents is needed, which means being Isolated from the Opposite Parent can threaten to Extinct the Species |
