What environmental conditions would favor sexual reproduction? What environmental conditions would favor asexual reproduction?
Organism - sexual reproduction - gonads
asexual reproduction - honeybees
- Is pillbugs an asexually organism or is a sexually organism? I think its ansexually organism, right?
Jah its 2021 now lol where you at?
also don't mind the fact that I'm still alive. I figured nobody would see this because its form 2010 so I just wanted to say that I'm coming back in sometime in January of 2021
Its now march 15 2021 Jah... did you get stuck in 2020 or something ? 😅😅
Honeybees are asexual because not only do I check the websites for facts but also my textbook. thanks for the search engine but i wanted environmental conditions for asexual and sexual reproduction but i found some good websites. Thanks alot!!!
To determine what environmental conditions would favor sexual reproduction versus asexual reproduction, we first need to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each reproductive strategy.
Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes (sex cells) from two parents, typically male and female. This process introduces genetic diversity through recombination, which can lead to increased adaptability and survival in changing environments. In sexual reproduction, organisms have specialized reproductive structures like gonads, which produce gametes.
Asexual reproduction, on the other hand, involves the production of offspring without the involvement of gametes or the fusion of genetic material. It typically leads to genetically identical offspring (clones) and can occur through various mechanisms such as budding, fission, or fragmentation. Asexual reproduction is advantageous in stable and favorable environments where the offspring inherit all of the parent's genetic traits and adaptations.
Now, let's address the question about pillbugs. Pillbugs, also known as woodlice or roly-polies, are actually sexually reproducing organisms. They have specialized reproductive structures, specifically gonads, for producing eggs and sperm. Sexual reproduction allows pillbugs to introduce genetic variation into their population and adapt to changing environmental conditions.
In conclusion, favorable environmental conditions for sexual reproduction are often associated with changing or unpredictable environments that require genetic diversity and adaptability. Asexual reproduction is typically favored in stable and favorable environments where the offspring inherit all the parent's traits.
What makes you think that honeybees are asexual? Don't they have both males and females? So do pill bugs. Amoebas would be asexual.
