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?
Some organisms are capable of asexual or sexual reproduction. Under favorable conditions, reproduction proceeds asexually. When conditions become more stressful reproduction switches to a sexual mode. Why?
Question options:
Sexual reproduction is simple and more rapid allowing larger numbers of offspring to be produced.
Sexual reproduction requires two separate individuals, who can mutually provide nutrient support during stress.
Sexual reproduction produces individuals with new combinations of recombined chromosomes increasing diversity.
Asexual reproduction requires more energy.

- Most species reproduce sexually. Some species are entirely asexual, while others can reproduce in both modalities. a) Why is asexual reproduction so rare? b) What can we learn about the factors that maintain sexual reproduction from studying species that can reproduce both sexually and asexually?arrow_forwardAsexual reproduction has all of the following advantages over sexual reproduction EXCEPT Question 1 options: No "cost of males" Can found a new population from a single individual There are no advantages to asexual reproduction Produces more offspring per reproductive event In unchanging environments, offspring are exactly as adapted as their parents to their habitatarrow_forwardExplain two potential costs and two evolutionary benefits of Sexual Reproduction.arrow_forward
- What is a likely evolutionary advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction? a. sexual reproduction involves fewer steps b. less chance of using up the resources in a given environment c. sexual reproduction results in greater variation in the offspring d. sexual reproduction is more cost-effectivearrow_forwardFor each of the following, choose whether it is true of sexual reproduction or asexual reproduction. Each female produces more daughters. Each female produces more genetically variable offspring. Most common eukaryotic reproductive strategy. advantageous when the environment is stable [Choose ] [Choose ] [Choose ] [Choose ]arrow_forwardMost eukaryotic organisms use sexual reproduction as their primary means of perpetuating their species. Gametes are formed via meiosis. However, some species primarily reproduce via asexual means. Reproduction is accomplished via mitosis. Aspen trees most commonly reproduce by such asexual methods of cloning.What are the advantages and disadvantages of reproduction by asexual means? Why do some species reproduce in this manner? Why don't all species?arrow_forward
- It is said that sexual reproduction is selectively advantageous to asexual reproduciton. Why is the case? A. Asexual reproduction produces much more genetic diveristy than sexual reproduction B. Asexual repoduction is only half as efficient as sexual repdocution in sending ones genes into the next generation C. Sexual reproduction increases genetic diversity and consequently slows the rate of evolution D. Sexual reproduction is much faster than asexual repoduction E. Sexaul reproduction produces variation among populations which can help increase fitness for certain individuals/increase selection for favorable traitarrow_forwardUnicellular organisms such as bacteria depend on asexual reproduction. Why is sexual reproduction so common in multicellular organisms? 1 - because it produce more offspring 2 - because it creates genetic variation in the population 3 - because a sexual population can grow faster than an. Asexual population 4 - because it produces offspring that are identical to the parents 5 - because it requires less energyarrow_forwardWhich of the following would not be considered a component of sexual reproduction?
