The severity of the flicker depends on several factors such as: 1  How often and regularly the voltage fluctuates. 2  How much of a voltage change occurs. 3  The kind of light (incandescent, fluorescent, or HID - high intensity discharge lighting systems).
This ensures that the genetic line of the parental generation will be maintained. Disadvantages. The only real disadvantages in a STABLE environment is that asexual reproduction can cause a bloom in the population of the organisms. This naturally means that they will be competing against each other for the resources of the environment they live in.
Finally, if the environment in which the plant grows is stable and does not undergo a lot of change, it is advantageous to undergo asexual reproduction; if the parent plants are successful, it is a good idea to make clones of the plant that can be successful as well.
