Chapter 50, Problem 14TYU
Summary Introduction
To develop: A hypothesis to explain the reason why asexual reproduction is more common habitat with few
Introduction: Reproduction is the process by which the organisms propagate their species by the union of the male and females gametes. Sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction are the two types of reproduction. Sexual reproduction involves male and female gametes but asexual reproduction does not involve male and female gametes.

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.
