Contrast sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction?

Answer 1

Sexual reproduction creates new life using two different genetic materials and combining them. Asexual reproduction is different by using only one genetic DNA material to produce life. So in sexual reproduction the genes of two different parents exist but with asexual only one parents genetics exist. They are similar in that reproduction occurs regardless of the method.

Answer 2

Asexual reproduction is quick and no need to search for a mate sexual reproduction has a variation,unique. Asexual again has no variation-if the parent has a disease,offspring does to and sexual reproduction requires two organisms-dangerous

Answer 3

Asexual reproduction is the biological process by which an organism creates a genetically-similar or identical copy of itself without a contribution of genetic material from another individual. Bacteria divide asexually via binary fission; viruses take control of host cells to produce more viruses; Hydras (invertebrates of the order Hydroidea) and yeasts are able to reproduce by budding. These organisms do not have different sexes, and they are capable of "splitting" themselves into two or more individuals. Some 'asexual' species, like hydra and jellyfish, may also reproduce sexually. For instance, most plants are capable of vegetative reproduction-reproduction without seeds or spores-but can also reproduce sexually. Likewise, bacteria may exchange genetic information by conjugation. Other ways of asexual reproduction include fragmentation and spore formation that involves only mitosis.

Sexual reproduction is a biological process by which organisms create descendants that have a combination of genetic material contributed from two (usually) different members of the species. Each of two parent organisms contributes half of the offspring's genetic makeup by creating haploid gametes. Most organisms form two different types of gametes. In these anisogamous species, the two sexes are referred to as male (producing sperm or microspores) and female (producing ova or megaspores). In isogamous species the gametes are similar or identical in form, but may have separable properties and then may be given other different names. For example, in the green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, there are so-called "plus" and "minus" gametes. A few types of organisms, such as ciliates, have more than two kinds of gametes.

Most animals (including humans) and plants reproduce sexually. Sexually reproducing organisms have two sets of genes for every trait (called alleles). Offspring inherit one allele for each trait from each parent, thereby ensuring that offspring have a combination of the parents' genes. Having two copies of every gene, only one of which is expressed, allows deleterious alleles to be masked, an advantage believed to have led to the evolutionary development of diploidy (Otto and Goldstein).

Answer 4

Sexual Reproduction:
-involves two organisms
-is slow
-creates genetically unique offspring
-two parents with bad genes can produce offspring with excellent genes, and vice versa

Asexual Reproduction:
-involves only one organism
-is faster than sexual reproduction
-creates offspring that are genetically identical to the parent
-a parent with excellent genes will produce offspring with excellent genes, and vice versa

Answer 5

asexual and sexual reproduction is the same because they both are sexual

Answer 6

ok this means one if the two parnets the male has his sperm cell and putts it to make an egg for the baby.

Answer 7

asexual reproduction means they dont have sex to make babies.

Answer 8

sexual reproduction has sex cells asexual reproduction does not.
