Summary Introduction
To review: The three processes of sexual reproduction which generate
Introduction:
During sexual reproduction, most of the variation arises at fertilization and meiosis. There are three processes that contribute to it: independent assortment of chromosomes, crossing over, and random fertilization.

- Some organisms—for example, certain fungi—reproduce asexually when the environment is favorable and sexually when the environment becomesunfavorable. What might be the evolutionary advantage of sexual reproduction with the associated process of meiosis during unfavorable conditions?arrow_forwardMention the main difference between the offspring produced by asexual reproduction and progeny produced by sexual reproduction.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is a disadvantage of sexual reproduction? a.)Offspring can be reproduced more quickly than by sexual means b.)Two parents are required for making sex cells c.)Offspring are genetically different d.)Genetic diversity makes organism respond uniformly to environment changesarrow_forward
- One potential advantage of sexual reproduction is that offspring will have more genetic ______________ compared to offspring produced by asexual reproduction. Group of answer choices A)diversity B)identity C)similarity D)diplomacyarrow_forwardOne of the advantages of sexual reproduction is that it promotes genetic diversity in the offspring. This is because gametes are produced by meiosis, which introduces genetic variation into the resulting gametes. How does meiosis accomplish this? Describe one way (there are several choices) in which meiosis produces new combinations of genes in gametes.arrow_forwardConsidering both asexual and sexual reproduction, does the following statement apply to mitosis only, meiosis only, or both mitosis and meiosis? Mutations that occur during this process would ALWAYS be passed on to the next generation Neither mitosis nor meiosis Both mitosis and meiosis Meiosis only Mitosis onlyarrow_forward
