Question
Chapter 21.1, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The effect of only asexual reproduction of organisms in a population that have stopped the sexual reproduction by referring the concept 10.4.
Introduction:
Asexual reproduction involve production offspring from a single organism, that inherit the genes from one parent only whereas the sexual reproduction involve production of offspring from two individuals of different sexes (male and female), results in recombination of their genetic information in offspring.
