One disadvantage of the sponge's method of reproduction is that its offspring have little genetic diversity. This is because asexual reproduction results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent, leading to a lack of variation that can be important for adaptation and survival in changing environments.
Many sponges can reproduce asexually. Ladybugs, on the other hand, reproduce sexually. When small bits of a sponge are broken off—often by currents or by predators—they can float to new regions and regenerate as new sponges. A ladybug must find a mate before it can reproduce.One disadvantage of the sponge's method of reproduction is that(1 point)
