What is a disadvantage of asexual reproduction?

It takes a lot of energy to attract a mate.


Organisms do not have to find a mate in order to reproduce.


If an organism has bad traits for survival, its offspring will automatically have those bad traits as well.


There is genetic diversity among the offspring.
