Solution

Advantages of asexual reproduction:

  1. Asexual reproduction occurs when gametes do not fuse or the number of chromosomes does not change.
  2. Asexually reproduced children from unicellular and multicellular organisms receive their single parent's entire gene set.
  3. It is faster and easier than sexual reproduction because only one organism is involved
  4. It allows rapid multiplication and it doesn’t depend on fertilisation.
  5. The animal or pollen grain can save energy because it does not have to travel to spread the species.
