Best Answer

No. Sexual reproduction requires the union of male and female gametes (sex cells). This produces the first cell of the new offspring, which is called the zygote, which is genetically different from each parent. Asexual reproduction occurs without the joining of male and female gametes, and the offspring are clones of the parent.

Sex cells are formed by what type of cell division?

Sex cells, also called gametes, are created by meiosis, a type of cell division in which the daughter cells divide the DNA in the parent cell in half rather than replicating it and creating two identical cells.


Is arthropods reproduction sexual or asexual?

Most often in Arthropods, reproduction is by regular sexual reproduction i.e. by union of a sperm and egg. But variations of the usual process do occur. Aphids (class Insecta), for example, commonly reproduce by parthenogenesis, egg development without fertilization , and produce only females. But later in the summer, some of them convert to being males and then sexual reproduction occurs. Male honey bees are produced by an unfertilized egg. Both of the examples may still be called sexual reproduction since they involve development of the female gamete, that is, the egg. True asexual reproduction would not involve either gamete (sperm or egg) and all of the off spring would be genetically equal.
