What is the disadvantage of parthenogenesis?(a) Wastage of germplasm(b) Retention of genotype(c) Lack of adaptability(d) Variety in populationI had been asked this question during a job interview.My question is based upon Organisms in section Reproduction in Organisms of Biology – Class 12

Answer»

Right option is (c) Lack of adaptability

To elaborate: SINCE there is no FERTILIZATION of gametes taking place, there is no CROSSING over of genes taking place. This hence causes no variations in the generations. This makes it difficult for the offspring to ADAPT to the changing ENVIRONMENTAL conditions.
