Question

Which TWO choices describe benefits of the process of asexual reproduction?


There is more genetic variation among offspring.


Only one parent is needed to produce offspring.


Allows for more diversity and evolution of a species.


Populations are better able to adapt to changes in the environment.


Large numbers of offspring can be produced in short periods of time.

Answer 1

- Only one parent is needed to produce offspring.
- Large numbers of offspring can be produced in short periods of time.

( Asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring, so it does not increase genetic variation or promote faster adaptation/diversity.)
