Question

You are studying an animal that alternates between sexually and asexually reproducing stages. You observe a long period of time during which your study animals reproduce sexually. What could you do to attempt to make this animal reproduce asexually instead?

Answer 1

One of the strategies that can be implemented is to isolate the study animal and not allow its contact with another animal of the opposite sex to prevent sexual reproduction and under this condition it is encouraged to start asexual reproduction.

This is done with a single parent through successive mitotic divisions.
