Q

What are the advantages of sexual reproduction?

Produces variation in the offspirng

If the environment changes variation gives a survival advantage by natural selection

Nautral selection can be speeded up by humans in selelctive breeding to increase food production

17
Q

What are the advantages of asexual reproduction?

A

Only one parent needed

More time and energy efficient as so not need to find a mate

Faster than sexual reproduction

Many identical offspring produced when conditions are favourable

18
Q

Sexual reproduction in the mosquito

Asexual reproduction in the human host

19
Q

Name three organisms that can reproduce by asexual and sexual reproduction

A

Malarial parasite

Fungi

Many plants

20
Q

Name the asexual structures released by fungi

A

Spores

21

Strawberry

Daffodils
