Sexual Motivation

Sexual motivation refers to a person's overall desire for sexual activity. It is an unusual motivation. Generally, among lower animals, the term 'drive' is commonly referred to as sexual motivation. It means a certain internal force drags the animal to be involved in reproductive behavior. On the contrary, humans are not simply driven by any internal force; rather, the sexual motivation in humans is due to several factors such as biological (hormones, genes), environmental (familial upbringing, chemical exposure) and physiological factors (culture, desire) which further determine engagement in sexual activities.

Question

Which of the following is an advantage of asexual reproduction?

A.

The population can reproduce more rapidly.
B.

It takes time and energy to find a mate.
C.

It takes two parents to reproduce.
D.

There is decreased genetic variation.

Definition Definition Genetic variation refers to the differences in DNA sequence among individuals of the same species. These variations can occur due to mutations, genetic recombination, and natural selection. Genetic variation plays an important role in evolution, as it allows for the selection of traits that enhance the survival and reproduction of organisms in changing environments.

Which of the following is an advantage of asexual reproduction over sexual reproduction? A. Asexual reproduction leads to offspring with high genetic diversity. B. Asexual reproduction requires a partner. C. The resulting offspring have no genetic diversity. D. Asexual reproduction does not require a partner.

What is a likely evolutionary advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction? a. sexual reproduction involves fewer steps b. less chance of using up the resources in a given environment c. sexual reproduction results in greater variation in the offspring d. sexual reproduction is more cost-effective
Compare and contrast sexual and asexual reproduction. Identify the most accurate statement. a. Asexual reproduction results in more offspring per mother. b. Sexual reproduction is always more costly. c. Sexual reproduction is associated with an increase in homozygosity. d. Asexual reproduction is always bad for a species.
The twofold cost of sex model by John Mynard Smith explains how - A. asexual females can become predominant in a population. B. anisogamy results in sexual reproduction. C. sexual individuals can produce genetically variant offspring. D. asexual females invest as much in offspring as the sexual females.
Which of the following characterizesparthenogenesis?(A) An individual may change its sex during itslifetime.(B) Specialized groups of cells grow into newindividuals.(C) An organism is first a male and then a female.(D) An egg develops without being fertilized.
Some animals in captivity have reproduced without the need for a mate in a process called parthenogenesis. Examples include boas, pythons, bonnethead sharks, and komodo dragons. Initially, scientists thought this occurred because the animals were kept in optimal conditions for reproduction, but lacked access to a mate. However, scientists were surprised to discover that some species in the wild with access to mates also reproduce through parthenogenesis. An example is the pit-viper. Compare and contrast the processes of asexual reproduction through parthenogenesis and sexual reproduction for an animal such as the python. Describe the processes of i. asexual reproduction through parthenogenesis ii. sexual reproduction 2. Describe two pros and two cons of each form of reproduction. Explain each one.
Which of the following is a function of the reproductive system? (A) to produce all of the body's hormones (B) to regulate body temperature (C) to make hormones that fight disease (D) to regulate the development of male and female characteristics
How does the production of sperm differ from the production of eggs? a. Sperm production involves meiosis, whereas egg production involves only mitosis. b. Meiosis during sperm production produces four sperm cells, whereas meiosis during egg production produces only one functional egg cell. c. Sperm are haploid, whereas eggs are diploid. d. Sperm production begins during fetal development, whereas the meiotic process that begins egg production doesn’t begin until puberty
All of the following are correct about asexual reproduction EXCEPT a) it can create numerous offspring quickly b) the offspring are genetically identical to the parent c) it enables animals living in isolation to produce without a mate d) it is advantageous when the environment is changing and the organisms is stressed.
