1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
What environmental conditions would favor sexual reproduction? What environmental conditions would favor asexual reproduction?
Organism - sexual reproduction - gonads
asexual reproduction - honeybees
2. Is pillbugs an asexually organism or is a sexually organism? I think its ansexually organism, right?
2. The attempt at a solution
1. Sexual reproduction takes advantage of desirable environmental conditions. Asexual reproduction is easier, less costly in energy, and is less likely to make a genetic mistake (mutation) in the reproduction of a new organism. Sexual reproduction is more energy costly, but it adds more genetic variation to the population because a new organism gets some traits from mom and some from dad.
But besides this, is there any suitable environment conditions for the honeybees and gonads.
