GCSE Biology - Pros and Cons of Sexual and Asexual Reproduction (Part 2) #72

The video discusses two types of reproduction: sexual and asexual. Asexual reproduction involves a single parent and is quick, allowing rapid colonization but lacks genetic variation, making populations vulnerable to diseases. Sexual reproduction, involving two parents, creates genetic diversity, aiding adaptation and evolution, but requires more time and energy due to mate selection processes.
