What is meant by the power of a lens? Write its SI unit. A student uses a lens of focal length of 40 cm and another of –20 cm. Write the nature and power of each lens.
Write one main difference between asexual and sexual mode of reproduction. Which species is likely to have comparatively better chances of survival - the one reproducing asexually or the one reproducing sexually ? Give a reason to justify your answer.
The difference between asexual and sexual reproduction is that in asexual reproduction only one parent is involved, whereas in the sexual mode of reproduction two parents are involved.
The organisms reproducing sexually have better chances of survival because it incorporates variations and promotes diversity of characters in an offspring due to combinations of genes and thus the offsprings are better adapted to the environment and therefore have better chances of survival.
