Answer:
a) There are a number of types of asexual reproduction including fission, fragmentation, budding, vegetative reproduction, spore formation and agamogenesis. Spore formation occurs in plants, and some algae and fungi, and will be discussed in additional concepts
b) The advantages of sexual reproduction:
.) produces genetic variation in the offspring.
.) the species can adapt to new environments due to variation, which gives them a survival advantage.
.) a disease is less likely to affect all the individuals in a population.
c) The disadvantages of asexual reproduction include:
.) it does not lead to genetic variation in a population.
.) the species may only be suited to one habitat.
.) disease may affect all the individuals in a population.
d) the production of new living organisms by combining genetic information from two individuals of different types (sexes). In most higher organisms, one sex (male) produces a small motile gamete which travels to fuse with a larger stationary gamete produced by the other (female).
e) each of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
f) Sexual reproduction gives rise to more viable variation than asexual reproduction. Because in sexual reproduction, genetic material from both the parents mixed (recombination of parent chromosomes) by fertilization...
