Question

What are the disadvantages and advantages of parthenogenesis?

Answer 1

A single parent can produce offspring, which increases the population of the species. However, this process produces only females, so there’s a high risk that genetic variation in the population will decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The process of reproducing offspring from female eggs without any male involvement.

Advantages

1- Rapid production of numerous offspring and there is need of male gametes.

2- Require less amount of time and energy

3- Offspring are the exact copies of the parents and are called clones as they are similar morphologically and genetically.

Disadvantages

1- There is no genetic variability.

2- No new genetic combinations which can be a threat for their survival during population selection.
