Question

An advantage of asexual reproduction is that

a) it enhances genetic variability in the species.
b) allows the species to endure long periods of unstable environmental conditions.
c) enables the species to rapidly colonize habitats that are favorable to that species.
d) produces offspring that respond effectively to new pathogens.
e) allows a species to easily rid itself of harmful mutations.

Answer 1

c) enables the species to rapidly colonize habitats that are favorable to that species is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

An advantage of asexual reproduction is that enables the species to rapidly colonize habitats that are favorable to that species.

Asexual reproduction where offspring is produced from the single parent and it carries the genes of that parent.

In asexual reproduction, an organism is formed without the exchange of genetic material

In the asexual reproduction there no fusion of gametes,

Examples of asexual reproduction are fragmentation,binnary fission, spore formation, budding.

Advantage of asexual reproduction

• occurs very rapidly.
• one parent is required for reproduction.
• The population increases quickly when the conditions are suitable.
