What do sexual and asexual reproduction have in common?

Answer 1

Both types of reproduction share some similarities. For instance, genetic codes are passed onto the offspring, they ensure continuation of the species and they can both experience mutations.

Answer 2

They are both means of reproduction, used to form offspring(s). They also both require the transfer of DNA.

Answer 3

sexual reproduction: (process by which new organisms develop from joining of male sperm cells to female egg cells) 1. sexual reproduction is required to become successful over long periods of time. 2. two parents are involved. 3. meiosis takes place and gametes are formed. 4. genetic combination occurs leading to variation. 5. less rapid increase in number(time taking process) 6.there is the mixing of hereditary material,either between two cells of the same organism or of two cells of different organisms belonging to the same specie. 7. fertilization takes place. asexual reproduction: (process by which a single organism produces a new organism identical to itself) 1. organisms are genetically identical to them selves and their parents. 2. these organisms fail to cope with the changing environment and if continues to reproduce this way ultimately gets extinct. 3. asexual reproduction is advantageous for organisms in a way that this method is efficient,a shorter time is taken for species to inhabit or colonize the habitats. 4. no gametes are involved, all offspring is produced from single parent by mitotic cell division. 5. most importantly there is no mixing of hereditary material in asexual reproduction.(thus does not improve the genetic make up and does not produce variety among the descendent, so the environmental conditions to which the organisms are well adapted, are changed this would affect the members of that specie. 6.no fertilization.

Answer 4

They are similar in that both result in viable offspring to maintain the species. However, the two processes are very different. Sexual reproduction, by definition, involves the fertilization of an ova with a sperm; asexual reproduction simply involves dividing the organism in question into two.

Answer 5

Asexual: the offspring has a single parent.Sexual: the offspring has two parents (combining some chromosomes from each parent).

In asexual reproduction, as long as there are no mutations, the offspring are identical to the parents; in sexual reproduction, they are not.

Answer 6

• both are means of reproduction!

Answer 7

Asexual is with only one parent but sexual means that it has two parents.

Answer 8

Simply they are type of reproduction thats all i know :)

Answer 9

They reproduce
