Summary Introduction
To determine: The evolutionary advantages of sexual reproduction with the associated process of meiosis during unfavorable conditions.
Introduction: Reproduction is the process by which the organisms propagate their species by the union of the male and females gametes in case of sexual reproduction or by other asexual means.

- 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.arrow_forwardOne of the advantages of sexual reproduction is that it promotes genetic diversity in the offspring. This is because gametes are produced by meiosis, which introduces genetic variation into the resulting gametes. How does meiosis accomplish this? Describe one way (there are several choices) in which meiosis produces new combinations of genes in gametes.arrow_forwardA common feature of reproduction in Amoeba, spirogyra and yeast is that –a) Asexual reproduction occurs after sexual reproductionb) Asexual reproduction occurs before sexual reproductionc) Asexual reproduction does not involve gametesd) Asexual reproduction involves only one parentarrow_forward
- . In plants, which of the following are produced by meiosis?(A) haploid gametes(B) diploid gametes(C) haploid spores(D) diploid sporesarrow_forwardIn humans, gametogenesis results in the formation ofa. diploid egg and sperm cells.b. gametophytes.c. sporophytes.d. haploid egg and sperm cells.e. a zygote.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is an advantage of asexual reproduction over sexual reproduction?arrow_forward
- What similarities have you observed with the process of sexual reproduction in plants and animals?arrow_forwardWhich of the following features does not differentiate asexual reproduction from sexual reproduction? Asexual reproduction involves a single parent but it is not the case in sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction does not involve gamete formation but asexual reproduction does. Asexual reproduction does not involve mitosis while sexual reproduction does. A. I and II B. II and III C. I and III D. I, II and IIIarrow_forwardWhat 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-effectivearrow_forward
- Meiosis produces daughter cells. a. two haploid b. two diploid c. four haploid d. four diploidarrow_forwardWhy must the life cycle of sexually reproducing species alternate between haploid and diploid stages? A) Mitosis must occur at some point in the life cycle to prevent a doubling of chromosomes in each generation. B) Meiosis must occur at some point in the life cycle to prevent a doubling of chromosomes in each generation. C) Mitosis must occur at some point in the life cycle to prevent a reduction of chromosomes in each generation. D) Meiosis must occur at some point in the life cycle to prevent a reduction of chromosomes in each generation.arrow_forwardIn asexual reproduction a diploid individual would produce which of the following Group of answer choices A. haploid offspring through meiosis B. diploid offspring through mitosis C. haploid offspring through mitosis D. diploid offspring through meiosisarrow_forward
