Q

What are the advantages of sexual reproduction?

A

Produces variation in the offspirng

If the environemnt 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 on eparent needed

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

Faster than sexual reproduction

Many identical offspring produced when conditionsa re favourable

18
Q

When does the malarial parasite use sexual and asexual reproduction?

A

Malarial parasite

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 strucutres released by fungi

A

Spores

21
Q

Name a plant that reproduces sexaully and asexually?

A

Starwberry

Daffodils

22
Q
