Compare sexual and asexual reproduction

Answer 1

sexual: in sexual reproduction, cells from two different parents unite to form the first cell of the new organism.

asexual: in asexual reproduction, a single parent produces offspring that are identical to itself.

Answer 2

Sexual reproduction

• Two parents usually needed
• Gametes have to join together (male gamete (e.g. sperm) and female gamete (eggs)
• the new organisms formed have traits from the parents

Asexual reproduction

• only one parent is needed
• there is no joining together of gametes
• the newly formed organisms are identical to the parent

Answer 3

differences:

1) sexual reproduction involves two parent to produce one or more new organisms while asexual reproduction involves one parent to produce one or more new organisms.

2) in sexual reproduction off-springs are not identical to their parents while in asexual reproduction off-springs are identical to their parent and identical to each other.
