(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.

Some types of reproduction, like parthenogenesis, are more unusual than others. This reproductive method requires only one ...

Take the evolution of sex, for instance. To make the move from asexual to sexual reproduction, nature took a system by which parent cells reproduced simply by dividing (asexual reproduction ...

The finding may offer insight into a long standing question in evolutionary biology about what forces cause species to choose sex over asexual reproduction and vice versa, he said. On paper, ...

Imagine a gene that promotes sexual reproduction, such as by making it more likely that a plant will reproduce via sexually produced seeds as opposed to some asexual process (e.g., budding ...
