Question:

Write one main difference between asexual and sexual mode of reproduction. Which species is likely to have comparatively better chances of survival- the one reproducing asexually or the one reproducing sexually?

Solution:

Asexual reproduction does not involve the fusion of gametes and is uniparental while sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes and is biparental. Sexually reproducing organisms have a higher probability to survive because sexual reproduction incorporates variations, which can be beneficial and help the organism to adapt to changing environmental conditions.
