multiple choice question
when is asexual reproduction advantageous?
o climate is variable.
o plants are not well - adapted to their surroundings.
o the environment fluctuates.
o conditions are stable.
Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. When conditions are stable, the traits that have allowed the parent to survive and reproduce successfully are likely to be beneficial for the offspring. In variable or fluctuating environments (options "Climate is variable" and "The environment fluctuates"), sexual reproduction, which introduces genetic variation, is more advantageous as it can lead to offspring better adapted to new conditions. If plants are not well - adapted to their surroundings (option "Plants are not well - adapted to their surroundings"), asexual reproduction would just produce more of the same non - well - adapted individuals.
