How can asexual reproduction be an advantage to an organism?

One example of is something so simple, called . It occurs in the simplest of cells known as the Prokaryotes. These include . Bacteria usually proliferate, or reproduce, at exponential...

In , the parent cell divides to create new cells which are completely identical to itself. Adaptability is based on an organisms ability to respond to change. This means favorable...

With the exception of a mutation, the the new organism should be the same as the parent one. We get genetic differences in from the addition of genes from two...

- is a mode of reproduction in which formation & fusion of gametes take place. The offspring produced are not identical to their parent or to each other, hence, it...

: There will be change in the genetic material due to recombination of genes. Helps for evolution of organisms. Helpful for natural selection. : Maintains same genetic characters from generation...

A single cell dividing by mitosis is an example of asexual reproduction--you now have two identical daughter cells (usually thought of as diploid 2n) from one single mother cell....

In Sexual Reproduction, variance occurs, which is also the main driver in evolution and natural selection. If you are constantly cloning yourself, like in Asexual reproduction, no variance or natural...

In the case of prokaryotes, the parent cell's DNA is copied prior to cell division through . If there is an error in the replication of the DNA, then one...

Yes, vegetative reproduction is asexual reproduction and clone is also a offspring of asexual reproduction. In vegetative reproduction, sex organs are not involved. So, the vegetative reproduction is...

This question reminds me of Plutarch's "Ship of Theseus" from "Lives of the noble Grecians and Romans": The ship wherein Theseus and the youth of Athens returned had thirty...
