List at least one advantage and one disadvantage to asexual reproduction.

Asexual reproduction refers to a kind of reproduction, which only needs one parent. The offsprings produced only exhibit the features and traits from that parent. This is the most general kind of reproduction for single cell species, like bacteria and prokaryotes.

One of the advantages of asexual reproduction is that it provides the tendency to generate huge quantities of offspring. This assists in occupying the niches briskly and inhibits competition and intruders from invading.

With advantages it has some disadvantages as well, one of the major disadvantages of asexual reproduction is that the organisms cannot adapt adequately.

A species has established reactions against some kind of things, and all of these reactions are passed on to the offsprings in case of asexual reproduction, this makes it impossible for these species to amend themselves with the changing conditions.
