Produces variation in the offspring

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

Natural selection can be speeded up by humans in selective 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

When does the malarial parasite use sexual and asexual reproduction?

A

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

21
