Describe how environmental factors can trigger asexual reproduction in some animals.
Describe one ecological situation where asexual reproduction would be advantageous for an animal population.
Describe the main difference between sexual and asexual reproduction in animals.
Describe the process of binary fission in protozoans.
Describe the process of fragmentation in animals.
Explain how budding in Hydra differs from binary fission in Amoeba.
Explain why asexual reproduction is considered a primitive form of reproduction.
Explain why asexual reproduction is less favorable in changing environments.
Explain why asexual reproduction is rare in higher animals.
Name one animal group where parthenogenesis is commonly observed.
Name one animal that can regenerate a lost body part but does not reproduce asexually by regeneration.
Name one animal that can reproduce both sexually and asexually.
Name two advantages of asexual reproduction in animals.
A population of planarians is exposed to a toxic chemical that inhibits cell division. Predict and explain the impact this would have on their ability to reproduce asexually.
Compare and contrast the genetic consequences of asexual reproduction in animals with those of sexual reproduction, particularly in the context of adaptation to rapidly changing environments.
Describe how polyembryony in some parasitic wasps is a form of asexual reproduction, and discuss its adaptive significance.
Explain how the process of gemmule formation in sponges enables survival during unfavorable environmental conditions. Include the cellular mechanisms involved.
Some species of whiptail lizards reproduce exclusively by parthenogenesis. Discuss the evolutionary implications of this reproductive strategy and explain how these populations can persist over time despite the lack of genetic recombination.
