Asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction differ in all but what ways?
Asexual reproduction is the process in which a single cell or set of cells produces offspring that inherit all their genetic material from one parent and sexual reproduction needs two parents to produce offspring, the offspring inherits genetic material from both parents.
Asexual reproduction results in what?
Which type of reproduction results in the greatest amount of genetic variation?
That would be sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction allows for independent assortment and crossing over to occur. This is fancy language for the genetic material gets mixed up a lot. Since the genetic material gets mixed up, variation will result.
What results in the most diverse offspring?
Sexual reproduction leads to variety in offspring.
What are characteristics passed from parent to offspring called?
genetic traits
Reproduction an offspring isproduced by using the genetic matterial from only one parent?
Asexual reproduction requires genetic material from only one parent.
Where do the offspring of asexual reproduction receive its genetic material from?
its transfered by the process through mitosis and cytokineses
How could a scientist determine if offspring are the result of asexual or sexual reproduction?
analyze their genetic material
How is sexual and asexual reproduction different in inherited genetic material?
Sexual reproduction is with two parents and takes one sperm and one egg cell to create one embryo. The two parents and the offspring have different genetic information. Asexual reproduction is with one parent and both the parent and the offspring have the same genetic information, duh.
Asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction differ in all but what ways?
Asexual reproduction is the process in which a single cell or set of cells produces offspring that inherit all their genetic material from one parent and sexual reproduction needs two parents to produce offspring, the offspring inherits genetic material from both parents.
What are called hereditary features?
Hereditary features are features which are passed to offspring by its parents or ancestors. They are inherited through natural genetic reproduction.
What does the offspring of asexual reproduction receives?
The same genetic material from the single parent. In a word they are clones of the first.
Asexual reproduction increases genetic variation-the raw material on which natural selection operates?
Asexual reproduction decreases genetic variation which is the raw material on which natural selection operates. This is because asexual reproduction produces identical offspring to the parent.
What are the differences between offspring form by sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction?
Offspring formed by sexual reproductions use both parents' genetic material that differs from the parents. Offspring formed by asexual reproduction is formed by a single parent and is identical to the parent.
Asexual reproduction results in identical offspring unless what occurs?
Asexual reproduction results in identical offspring unless a mutation occurs. Mutation is a process wherein the genetic material of an organism is altered.
What are the patterns of reproduction among organisms?
Typically Asexual, where the offspring is idenical to the parent (budding, fission) and Sexual, when offspring shares genetic material of the two parents.
In a sexual reproduction does all of the genetic information have to come from one parent?
No, in sexual reproduction genetic information comes from both parents. Each parent contributes half of their genetic material through the gametes (sperm and egg), which combine to form an offspring with a unique combination of genetic traits. This allows for genetic diversity and variation in offspring.
