NO sex cells/fertilization
Example - Bacteria → Binary Fission
Example - Plant - Bulbs and Tubers
Example 3 - Runners
Advantages And Disadvantages -
| Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|
| Rapid population increase in favorable conditions | Limited genetic variation |
| Can exploit suitable environments quickly | Vulnerable to condition changes [only suitable to one habitat] |
| Time and energy efficient | Disease can affect whole population [lack of variation] |
| Faster reproduction | More competition |
| conserve some advantageous traits | No colonization of more land |
