Expert Answer:
The advantages of Asexual Reproduction are:
- It is a faster means of reproduction
- Less energy required for reproduction
- Number of progeny produced is more
The disadvantage of Asexual Reproduction is:
- The daughter offspring look exactly and have the same genetic material as the parent
lack of genetic variation. So as a result the population may go extinct with dramatic changes in environment.
The advantage of Sexual Reproduction is:
- It allows for genetic variation due to the involvement of two parents
The advantages of Sexual Reproduction are:
- It is a slower process
- It requires more energy
- Lesser number of progeny can be produced at a time
