Asexual and Sexual Reproduction

Question 14 • First Semester Biology

Which is a disadvantage of asexual reproduction?

Answer
A
mutation accumulation
B
genetic variation
C
slow reproduction process
D
mate required

Explanation

Asexual reproduction produces genetically similar offspring, so harmful mutations can be passed on and accumulate over generations. This makes mutation accumulation a disadvantage. Genetic variation can be limited in asexual reproduction, but variation itself is not the disadvantage named in choice B.
