What structures are involved in sexual reproduction in prokaryotic cells?
Pili are plasma membrane extensions that serve to allow joining of bacterial cells so that exchange of DNA between cells may occur, thus bringing about sexual reproduction.
Why does sexual reproduction results in greater diversity among offspring than dose asexual reproduction?
When orgAnisms have sexual reproduction the genetic material of vote parents are used to make the offspring, causing the child to have different genes than the parents and have different abilities like the ability to withstand a disease.
Why is sexual reproduction better than asexual reproduction for ensuring survival of a species in a changing environment?
Yes. Sexual reproduction is more advantageous than asexual reproduction in a challenging environment since sexual reproduction introduces more variation in the offspring. In asexual reproduction, the variation in offspring is caused by mutations and they are rare and a large number of offspring will have to be produced to ensure enough offspring with beneficial mutations are born, and this is not always possible when resources are scarce. In sexual reproduction, variation is introduced by recombination in addition to mutation, and recombination (random crossover of chromosomes) happens in every time the organism reproduces to introduce variation that may not be present in the parents. The greater amount of variation increases the chance of having offspring that are adapted to the challenging environment.
How is spore formation different than the other type of sexual reproduction?
organisms that form spores may also reproduce sexually.
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.

What type of fertilization requires two sex cells?
Well, I know that the style of reproduction is meiosis. Not sure about the type of fertilization. Answer:Fertilization or the answer may be sexual
What is advantage of asexual reproduction over sexual reproduction?
It is generally though that sexual recombination is the greatest advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction. By recombining genes you get many variants that may have some members of the population resistant to some environmental challenge. Asexuality just gives clones.

What type of reproduction occurs among human being?
Reproduction may be aseual or sexual. In asexual reproduction, a single individual produces another by itself.
Penicillium may have evolved from an ascomycete that lost its ability to carry out?
sexual reproduction
What are the names of the cycle of a plant?
The life cycle of plants may be of two types. Sexual cycle of reproduction and Asexual cycle of reproduction.
What type of reproduction enables evolution?
sexual reproduction because asexual reproduction results in an organism that is identical to the parent cell which does not allow for diversity. diversity allows for evolution. sexual reproduction results in offspring that are not identical and may contain traits that are better adapted to survive in their environment.
What are the names of the cycles of a plants life?
The life cycle of plants may be of two types. Sexual cycle of reproduction and Asexual cycle of reproduction.
What are the names of the cycles of a plant's life?
The life cycle of plants may be of two types. Sexual cycle of reproduction and Asexual cycle of reproduction.
