Asexuality may produce rapid, large-scale structural changes in organisms genomes By: Richard C. Lewis | 2021.04.22 | 05:29 pm Whether an organism reproduces by sexually mating or by cloning itself has dramatic consequences for the genetic profile that is passed on to offspring. Biologists at the University of Iowa studied a snail species found in freshwater lakes in New Zealand that can reproduce both sexually and asexually (without a male partner).
