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.
