Asexual Reproduction Vs. Desert Grasslands Whiptail Lizard

Copperhead snakes who are female can reproduce asexually as well as sexually. I think that reproducing asexually is best for the species. Asexual reproduction is when one parent creates an offspring from themselves. There is no mating or mixing of genetics. Generally, there is no variation from generation to generation in population. Sexual reproduction is when two parents, a male and a female, create an offspring through sexual reproduction. While producing sexually would mean that they have different DNA from their parents and therefore wouldn’t have any diseases or hereditary issues passed down I still think asexually is more favorable for the copperhead snakes. Copperhead snakes are targeted because they can pose a threat to humans and therefore could very likely have their

The crested gecko has a special way of reproducing; this includes a mating call, breeding seasons, and an egg birth rather than a live birth.

Texas Horned Lizards (P. cornutum) are currently listed as a threated species in Texas and Oklahoma. Texas Horned Lizard decline has been documented to start in the 1960’s, and is attributed to many things such as the invasion of red fire ants, habitat loss, urbanization, and the increased use of insecticides (Donaldson, Price, and Morse, 1994). These lizards inhabit arid to semi-arid environments and are known to primarily eat harvester ants. However, other invertebrates have been noted such as spiders, crickets, and beetles (Montanucci, 1989). The Horned Lizards dependence on Harvester ants has already been brought to question when it was shown that habitat influences population distribution and not harvester ant availability (Whiting,

Throwing a bunch of rattlesnakes in a pit and jumping in with them isn't typically the way you would want to spend a weekend. But, this is exactly the type of weekend you will get to experience if you visit the Sweetwater Rattlesnake Roundup.

12 million people have uncovered and believe in one of the most kept secrets in our country. 4 percent of the population has uncovered the big secrets behind our government and other huge companies in the world. The big secret it is all ran by lizard people in disguise. That's right the world is run by lizards.

A form of reproduction that requires only one parent and disallows genetic diversity between parent and daughter, as both share the same DNA. It is used for regenerating lost cells, and growth.

One advantage of sexual reproduction is that these organisms generally have greater genetic diversity. Organisms who reproduce asexually, on the other hand, are essentially clones of each other. This means that their predators can adapt to hunt them easily. The diversity of sexually reproducing organisms allows them to stay a step ahead of their predators because of their genetic variations and their ability to adapt via natural selection (Brockmyre 2015).

This project really got me out in the community to read a book to young kids about the amazing Santa Rosa Plateau. I really enjoyed this because the kids learned something about the animals and the plateau. The book, Leo the Extraordinarily Ordinary Lizard, shows many different species who help a lizard have fun, but are explained at the back of the book, and the plateau is also explained. I read this book to expand the kids mind to show what they can see at the plateau. Finally if the kid’s take this book personally it could lead to sparking one’s mind to go on nature walks and ask rangers what they can do to help.

D) Sexual reproduction is more likely to increase genetic variation than is asexual reproduction. E) Only asexual

The Stegosaurus is said to be twenty-six to thirty feet long and about nine feet tall! the stegosaurs weighed six thousand-eight hundred pounds, can you believe that? but it had a very small brain, about the size of a nut. they are herbivores, meaning they only eat low plants and crops. they have seventeen bone plates that grew out of its back! some think that their plates helped them look bigger maybe to scare off the meat eaters or maybe just to show off. they also have spikes on their tail, the stegosaurus tail is four feet long as their tail is also very flexible and they can use to protect themselves from large predators or scare those carnivores. Its name also means covered lizard, they could not walk very fast and some paleontologists believe that if that if they had blood veales running through their plates that its plates could change color, pretty interesting right?

God has given the frilled lizard a great ability to scare things away from him. It stands on its back legs, swaying back and forth . He opens up his mouth, then hisses. Bright frills of skin sticks out around his head. The lizard makes himself look big and to scare off others.

One of the adaptations the the Leopard gecko has is its defence mechanisms. The Leopard gecko is able to cut portions of its tail off in order to distract predators while they make their getaway. If a predator catches it by its tail the gecko can release the part that is captured. And while the tail is disconnected it wiggles around for a few minutes as another way to distract the predator. Its tail will grow back in a month or so, but the tail will not look the same as it did before.

Secondly, we meet Jerry Johnson and his crew in Southwest Texas hunting for unique type of lizard. The lizard’s reproductive procedure is that these female companions have the potential to reproduce with the use of sexual intercourse. Each baby lizard contains 100 percent of its mother’s genes. So with that in mind the baby is an identical clone of its mother. Some have considered that the lizards would have to have some sort of lesbian

Sagebrush lizards usually nearly impossible to see with the naked eye. My reasons to tell this is because I want you to know where they com from, what they eat, their actions are, how you tell if they are male or female, and how you tell how old it is.

Anisogamy is an interesting process to study simply because of how it affects organisms’ lives. The size of a gamete can be so easily affected by the ability to move and by how easily they survive. This seems to be taken for granted when you think about how the size of these gametes essentially determinates how many sexes we have and who invests more in the offspring. For example, if gametes form in different sizes, then the number of sizes created will be the number of sexes we have. Although, it would not realistically create more than two sexes. This can be simply explained by the fact that gametes are competitive to pair up with another gamete. If they cannot be the biggest and best option to pair up with, then they must compete to be the
