which is more likely to go extinct first, an asexually reproducing host or its sexually reproducing parasite?
Please also give 2-3 sentence explanation! thank you!
Asexually organism will be extinct first compared to sexually reproducing organisms as asexually organism are less evolved or its has no variation among themself they are completely idenetical as they are outcome of asexual reproduction where recombination does not occur .so organism who are formed due to asexual are not able to servive in changed environment and can be eliminated much faster.
While sexually reproducting organism are different from parents are even among themselves as they are formed due to recombination of gametes so there are different type of organisms which can sustain in changing environments and hence doesnot get extinct. They are better adopted to their enviroment.
Thanks..!
