Type of Reproduction Advantages Disadvantages
Asexual Reproduction  the population can  it does not lead

the conditions are population
favourable
 the species may
 only one parent is only be suited to
needed one habitat
 it is more time and  disease may
energy efficient as affect all the
you don't need a mate individuals in a
population
 it is faster than
sexual reproduction.

Sexual Reproduction  it  time and energy

produces variation in are needed to
the offspring find a mate
 the species can adapt  it is not
to new environments possible for an
due to variation, isolated
which gives them a individual
survival advantage
  a disease is less
likely to affect all
the individuals in a
population
 humans can speed up
natural selection
through selective
breeding, which can
be used, for example,
to increase food
production.

4. This interest lies in the hypothesis that TSD species may
have an adaptive disadvantage in light of current
environmental changes, leading to skewed sex ratios and
potentially an increased risk of local population
extirpations.
5. The advantage is that species movement is low, and possible
mates are limited in number, therefore simultaneous
hermaphrodites have an advantage since they can modify
resource allocation between the female and male. The
drawback is that hermaphrodite populations are less
efficient because they are unable to accomplish it in both
sexes.
6. Hermaphrodites are female earthworms. In the same body, they
can generate both eggs and sperms. Self-fertilization is not
an option for them to reproduce. The reason for this is that
the sex organs of the male and female do not mature at the
same time.
7. In the adult, or medusa, stage of a jellyfish, they can
reproduce sexually by releasing sperm and eggs into the
water, forming a planula.
