Introduction:
The reproduction can be defined as the process through which the living organisms produce new offspring. One of the fundamental features of life is reproduction. There are two different forms of reproduction, namely- asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction.

Answer to Problem 1MCQ
Correct answer:
The organisms reproducing asexually have an advantage in unchanging environment. Therefore, option a. is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct statement:
The organisms which reproduce asexually produce identical offspring. The identical offspring are able to survive in the optimal environments. Within the changing environment, the identical offspring is not able to survive. The adverse environment such as temperature fluctuation, disappearance of the prey and the emergence of new
Option a. is given as “that reproduce asexually”.
As, “the unaltered conditions of environment is an advantage for the asexual reproduction”, is the right answer.
Hence, option a. is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option b. is given as “that undergo indirect development”.
In the indirect development, the early part of the life is in the larval form and is not affected by the changing environment. So, it is a wrong answer.
Option c. is given as “in which fertilization occurs internally”.
The internal fertilization is characterized by deposition of the sperms inside the body of female; hence this kind of fertilization is not altered by changing environment. So, it is a wrong answer.
Option d. is given as “that undergo pattern formation”.
In the pattern formation, the shape and the structure of the organism are decided by the genes and are not affected by the changing environment. So, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options b., c., and d. are incorrect.
The offspring in asexual reproduction carries the similar genetic information and hence they are identical. This kind of reproduction is advantageous in conditions when the environment is not changing.
