How does DNA in offspring produced by asexual reproduction compare to DNA in offspring produced by sexual reproduction?

∙ 10y ago
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)

∙ 12y agoin sexual reproduction the DNA is from 2 different organsisms and asexual is the budding or splitting of a single organism. in sexual reproduction the offspring has DNA that is different from both parents and makes it genetically varied

How do offspring in sexual reproduction compare to the parent?
The offspring share half of the parent's genes.
How does budding and fission contrast and compare?
Budding and fission are both ways of asexual reproduction. Budding starts with a tiny bump, as fission splits its cytoplasm and nucleus. Source- Discovery Works textbook
How do offspring from sexual reproduction compare to their parents?
Well, that depends on genetics. However scientists get some ideas using "Punnett Squares"
How does asexual reproduction compare with sexual reproduction?
Asexual reproduction only involves mitosis, or binary fission. This leads to clones with identical genotypes. This also results in low genetic variation within a species. Sexual reproduction uses meiosis, indeed, sexual reproduction is the only function of meiosis. In meiosis, the first step causing variation is called Crossing-Over, where portions of the paternal chromosomes and maternal chromosomes physically change places. Next, the cell divides, each daughter cell taking half the chromosomes. These haploid cells now have half the normal chromosome number (23 for humans), but the chromosomes are still in the commonly seen cross shape with two sister chromatids. These now divide again, the chromosome number is still 23, but they are now in their single-strip form. The result is four daughter cells with half the chromosomes of the original cell, and lots of variation. Add to this the randomness if which human mates with which, and which sperm combines with which egg, and one can see how we've been able to keep up, evolutionarily, with bacteria.
How do the daughter cells produced by mitosis compare the the original cell?
The daughter cells are identical to the original cell.
Do sexual and asexual reproduction compare?
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.
A conclusion about a compare and contrast about asexual and sexual reproduction?
Asexual reproduction uses only 1 parent and is usually only done by bacteria. Also the offspring is an exact copy of the parent. Then sexual reproduction requires 2 parents and the offspring is a mix of the 2 parents' genes.
5 How do the chromosomes of an offspring produced by sexual reproduction compare with the chromosomes of its parents?
it has some of the same and some different
How do offspring in sexual reproduction compare to the parent?
The offspring share half of the parent's genes.
How do the offspring of sexual reproduction compare to the parent?
The offspring has half of each of their parents' gene
How offspring of sexual reproduction compare genetically to each other?
different
Compare the haploid life cycle found in chlamydomonas with a diploid life cycle?
Haploid = Asexual Reproduction Diploid = Sexual Reproduction
Describe either parthenogenesis or cloning and compare the genomes of the offspring with those of the parents?
A.) Parthenogenesis is an asexual form of asexual reproduction found in females where growth and development of embryos or seeds occurs without fertilization by a male. The genome will be the same as the parent because the egg is not fertilized so it has all the same chromosomes as the parent.
How do offspring of sexual reproduction compare genetically to each other?
if it compares it will make a copy of the parent
Compare sexual and asexual?
Sexual Reproduction is the process by which a new organism develops from joining of male and female sex cells (sperm and ova respectively). An organism that reproduces sexually requires a partner, with the offspring sharing characteristics from each parent. Examples include mammals, most reptiles, and flowering plants. Asexual Reproduction is the process by which a single organism produces a new organism identical to itself. An asexually reproducing organism does not require a partner to produce offspring. Examples include bacteria, nonflowering plants and some reptiles.
How do asexual and sexual reproduction in plants compare and contrast?
This is clearly homework. Wiki will not do your work for you so it is time to open your science book to find the answer.
Compare sexual and asexual reproduction?
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.
