l.8.2.a formative 1
advantage of sexual reproduction
disadvantage of sexual reproduction
advantage of asexual reproduction
disadvantage of asexual reproduction
it leads to genetic variations in new generations, an organism is more protected and does not necessarily have the weakness of parent, and removes bad genes from the population.
good for organisms that are not mobile and cannot look for a mate
an organism must find a mate, so it takes longer time to reproduce, it can prevent favorable gen from being passed
because organisms are the same, they share the same weaknesses

Explanation:

To solve this matching problem, we analyze each statement:

1. Advantage of sexual reproduction: The statement "It leads to genetic variations in new generations, an organism is more protected and does not necessarily have the weakness of parent, and removes bad genes from the population" describes benefits of sexual reproduction (genetic variation, removing bad genes).
2. Disadvantage of sexual reproduction: The statement "An organism must find a mate, so it takes longer time to reproduce, it can prevent favorable genes from being passed" highlights drawbacks (need for a mate, time, gene issues).
3. Advantage of asexual reproduction: The statement "Good for organisms that are not mobile and cannot look for a mate" is a benefit (no need for a mate, suitable for immobile organisms).
4. Disadvantage of asexual reproduction: The statement "Because organisms are the same, they share the same weaknesses" describes a drawback (lack of genetic variation, shared weaknesses).

Answer:

• Advantage of sexual reproduction: It leads to genetic variations in new generations, an organism is more protected and does not necessarily have the weakness of parent, and removes bad genes from the population.
• Disadvantage of sexual reproduction: An organism must find a mate, so it takes longer time to reproduce, it can prevent favorable genes from being passed.
• Advantage of asexual reproduction: Good for organisms that are not mobile and cannot look for a mate.
• Disadvantage of asexual reproduction: Because organisms are the same, they share the same weaknesses.
