(Mutations do create a minor amount of change.) If asexual reproduction survives at all, conditions must sometimes favor it, even in competition for a niche with sexually reproducing species.

Reproduction in animals varies from species to species. Some types of reproduction, like parthenogenesis, are more unusual ...

Those outlier liaisons gave whiptails robust heterozygosity, which has been preserved by the identical replication—essentially, cloning—that occurs in asexual reproduction. It’s a genetic ...

Neoblasts respond to injury through position-specific signaling from surrounding tissues and generate new tissues during maintenance, asexual reproduction, and regeneration. In the study ...

Regeneration is a remarkable biological ... which includes organs and structures. Asexual reproduction: Some species can reproduce asexually through fragmentation, where each fragment regenerates ...
