Select all the DISADVANTAGES of ASEXUAL reproduction

• Maintains all the bad traits seen in the parent

• Reproduction is slow

• Have to find a mate in order to reproduce

• Creates variation in the offspring

• If there is a change in the environment, all the organisms are likely to die because they are identical to each other

For which type of reproduction are offspring genetically identical to their parent?

• asexual

• sexual

• neither can produce identical offspring

• both can produce identical offspring

Which is a disadvantage of asexual reproduction?

• populations take a long time to grow

• populations lack genetic diversity, making them vulnerable

• offspring are slow to reach sexual maturity

• offspring are not vulnerable to environmental changes

Populations of a species take longer to grow in sexual reproduction as a consequence of:

(select ALL that apply)

• offspring take longer to reach sexual maturation (old enough to have offspring)

• fewer offspring are produced

• offspring requiring substantial (a lot) time and energy from parents before independence

• genetic diversity reducing the chance of survival

• unsuccessful organisms passing on their poor traits to offspring
