Question

A slow reproduction process is a disadvantage of which form of reproduction? sexual reproduction asexual reproduction binary fission mitosis

Answer 1

Ans.

Reproduction is defined as a process that involves formation of offspring (new organisms) from parent organisms. In higher organisms, including humans. reproduction occurs via sexual mode of reproduction.

Sexual reproduction has many advantages over asexual reproduction as sexual reproduction leads to formation of genetic variations in individuals. However, slow rate of reproduction is a main disadvantage of sexual reproduction as reproduction through asexual means is much faster than sexual reproduction.

Thus, the correct answer is option). 'sexual reproduction.'

Answer 2

The right answer is sexual reproduction.

Reproduction is the set of processes by which a species is perpetuated, causing the birth of new organisms. In sexual reproduction, the increased complexity of the genome must develop two different but compatible versions: one male, the other female within each individual (two alleles from both parents). In addition, the species is constrained to a slower evolutionary process to maintain compatibility, where asexual individuals can mutate much more rapidly to adapt to changes such as many bacteria and viruses.
