— Examiner report, May/June 2023, 0973/42 Q10(b) (Cambridge)
A significant number of candidates were able to describe how asexual reproduction leads to a lack of genetic variation in a species, with some only giving vague responses relating to offspring being similar to their parents. A smaller number of candidates then went on to include details of either a difficulty in adapting to environment change or to the ease of disease spread.
