What is asexual reproduction? List the various and describe four types of asexual reproduction.
What is sexual reproduction?
Why is sexual reproduction beneficial?

there are a number of types of asexual reproduction including fission, fragmentation, budding, vegetative reproduction, spore formation and gamogenesis. Spore formation occurs in plants, and some algae and fungi, and will be discussed in additional concepts

the production of new living organisms by combining genetic information from two individuals of different types (sexes). In most higher organisms, one sex (male) produces a small motile gamete which travels to fuse with a larger stationary gamete produced by the other (female)

The advantages of sexual reproduction: produces genetic variation in the offspring. the species can adapt to new environments due to variation, which gives them a survival advantage. a disease is less likely to affect all the individuals in a population.

Explanation:

an energy transformation flow diagram is shown

where is it ?

answer: at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.

explanation:

since we have given that

the population for alpha city, t years after january 1, 2004 is given as

first we find out the initial population, i.e. t=0,

so, our quadratic equation becomes,

according to question, we have said that if the population has twice its initial population, then it becomes

so, time taken to reach this above mentioned population is given by

now, we know that time can't be negative so, we take t=9.149 years.

hence, at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.
