Advantages/disadvantages involved in methods of komodo dragon reproduction. the first answer is ! 20 points

- The offspring’s genes are unique as they are formed from crossing over.

- Reproduction allows for fast removal odd bad mutations, which can conjoin two beneficial mutations. 

- Reproduction allows for multiple numbers of offspring. The offspring can evolve at a fast rate.

- The offspring has better adaptation to host parasite arms race. 

- Offspring can be dispersed widely in different places from their parents.

- It is favorable when the environment is not favorable or stable for the specie. This is a slower rate of reproduction, but has faster evolution.

- Reproduction permits variation, which is evolution’s fundamental element. It creates species, which can adapt to harsh environmental changes, and cannot be wiped out by a single disease. Although, this reproduction process requires significant amount of energy in part of organisms finding a mate. This reproduction process is not suited to organisms stuck in one place or isolated.

Disadvantages:

- Reproduction needs two parents. The parents must spend energy in order to find; court or identify, and copulate with their mate.

- Reproduction also requires more time to produce offspring. Animals may take months before they can produce offspring. 

- If conditions are stable, the genetic recombination may be counter-reproductive. 

- Reproduction is less efficient at passing in genes. The favorable genes combination may be broken.

halogen, any of the six nonmetallic elements that constitute group 17 (group viia) of the periodic table. the halogen elements are fluorine (f), chlorine (cl), bromine (br), iodine (i), astatine (at), and tennessine (ts).

the relative standard reduction potential of the half-cell in which reduction occurs; more positive than the other half-cell. reduction is a chemical process in which electrons are added to an atom or an ion; it always occurs accompanied by oxidation of the reducing agent.
