Which is a disadvantage of asexual reproduction? mutation accumulation genetic variation slow reproduction process mate required

Asexual reproduction is reproduced by somatic cells, if a mutation affects these cells, all the descendence will inherit it.

Therefore, an asexual species may be suddenly destroyed by a disaster that affects all genetically identical organisms of this species.

I'm pretty sure it's mutation accumulation.
