Q

asexual reproduction vs sexual reproduction

AR
energy and time conserving process
Through asexual reproduction, organisms in isolation can incite their population
when the environmental conditions are favorable
the population have the same genetic makeup as the parents

SR
yield a small number of offspring and the entire reproductive process takes a longer period of time
mixing of the gene pool of the species, causing a better chance of surviving
the sexual process is that it reduces the effects on the environment
we cannot control what our offspring looks like

A

25
Q

wavelengths-the most important in the visible light spectrum is blue and relight
Light Intensity- pertains to the amount of light that strikes Earth’s surface. Light intensity varies according to latitude.
Duration-it the length of the day and night varies during certain times of the year and seasons change. This affects the growth and blossoming of plants. some plants are short-day plants that grow when nights are longer than days, long-day plants and neutral plants are not affected by duration.
Photoperiodism-plants affected by the length of daylight and darkness
Heliophytes-plants that grow well in bright sunlight
Sciophytes-those that grow well in shady conditions

A
