Question
Write one difference between asexual and sexual mode of reproduction. Which species is likely to have better chances of survival - the one reproducing asexually or the one reproducing sexually? Justify your answer.
Solution
The difference between asexual and sexual reproduction is that in asexual reproduction only one parent is involved, whereas in the sexual mode of reproduction two parents are involved.
The organisms reproducing sexually have better chances of survival because it incorporates variations and promotes diversity of characters in an offspring due to combinations of genes and thus the offsprings are better adapted to the environment and therefore have better chances of survival.
