How does DNA in offspring produced by asexual reproduction compare to DNA in offspring produced by sexual reproduction?
If an offspring was produced through asexual reproduction, its genes will be exactly like its parent. This is more or less a clone of the parent. An example of this is a bacterium. If an offspring is produced through sexual reproduction, it will contain genes from both parents. (such as humans)
What happens to DNA during sexual reproduction?
Each parent gives part of their DNA to their offspring.
What is the difference between sexual reproduction and genetic variation?
There is no difference. Sexual reproduction is a source of genetic variation. Because during sexual reproduction within humans, a sperm cell and egg, each consisting of different genetic codes, combine to form a completely different DNA. Immediately, a genetic variation occurs between the parents and the offspring because of the union of the gamete cells, a sperm and egg.
What reproduction requires the passing of DNA from parent to their offspring?
sexual reproduction. since it alllows varriaations .
How does sexual reproduction benefit an organism?
The organism will benefit from new types of DNA when they are produced by sexual reproduction. Also, they won't have the problems of inbreeding, which is very dangerous to most creatures. The sexual relations are pleasurable to the parents as well.
How are plants different traits related to sexual reproduction?
Because of sexual reproduction each plants DNA is different.
Differences between sexual and asexual reproduction?
Sexual Reproduction : When two organisms have sex to reproduce. Example : humans, mammals, etc. Asexual Reproduction : When it's only one organism reproducing without the help of another organism. Example : Flowers, Some plants, even some fish. Hope that helped :)

Does DNA replication occure immediately before asexual reproduction before sexual reproduction or both?
Any form of biological reproduction, whether sexual or asexual, is going to involve the replication of DNA. You can't have new cells without new DNA.

Does DNA replication occure immediately before asexual reproduction before sexual reproduction or before both?
Any form of biological reproduction, whether sexual or asexual, is going to involve the replication of DNA. You can't have new cells without new DNA.
What happens DNA during sexual reproduction?
Each parent gives part of their DNA to their offspring.
Does DNA replication occur immediately before asexual reproduction before sexual reproduction or before both?
No
What happens to DNA during sexual reproduction?
Each parent gives part of their DNA to their offspring.
Sexual reproduction may have originated as a way for cells to?
Repair damaged DNA.
Is it true sexual reproduction combines DNA from two parents?
Yes that is true
What are the traits passed from parents to progeny?
its sexual reproduction
