Yes, the two sex cells are usually a sperm (male) and an egg (female).
(Asexual reproduction is where there is no need for two organisms; Ex. Starfish, they lose an arm, it's arm regrows and the arm grows a body)
Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of genetic material from two parents, resulting in genetic diversity in the offspring. This process requires the production of specialized sex cells (gametes) and typically involves the union of a sperm cell and an egg cell. Additionally, sexual reproduction promotes genetic variability within a population, which can increase the likelihood of survival in changing environments.
both ways! it depends on the species. Some species are always sexual, and some species can do both.
No, sexual reproduction does not produce exact copies. Sexual reproduction is the combination of two different genetic codes, creating a completely unique life form. Asexual reproduction does produce exact copies.
No. Sexual reproduction process does not depend upon the number of chromosomes in an organism. Chromosome numbers usually are expressed in sets. 2 sets of chromosomes are present in body cells of organisms. For example, human bears 23 pairs which means 46 numbers of chromosomes. The cells with 2 sets of chromosomes are called diploid cells (2n) and haploid cells contain only one set (n) of chromosomes. Gamete cells are always haploid which are obtained by meiosis cell division of diploid cells. In sexual reproduction fusion of two haploid gametes (male and female) results in formation of zygote which id diploid.So, the number of chromosomes present ina cell whether it is small (cat - 38 chromosomes) or large (butterfly- 380 chromosomes) does not affect sexual reproduction.
No, organisms are not always beneficial. Some organisms can be harmful or have neutral effects on their environment and other species. It depends on the specific interactions and relationships between organisms in their ecosystem.

there is always sperm
No they are only requiered in sexual reproduction, in asexual reproduction only one parent is needed.
Yes, both sexual and asexual reproduction can lead to genetic variations. Sexual reproduction generates genetic diversity through the shuffling of genetic material from two parents, while asexual reproduction can involve mutations and genetic changes over time.
Disadvantages of sexual reproduction in protists include the need to find a mate, which can be difficult in some environments. It also requires more energy and resources compared to asexual reproduction. Additionally, sexual reproduction can introduce genetic variability, which may not always be advantageous in stable environments.

No, organisms do not always stay in the same level. Organisms can evolve and adapt to their environment, leading to changes in their characteristics and behavior over time. This process, known as evolution, allows organisms to improve their chances of survival and reproduction.
Aside from fun, sex is good for introducing variability. Asexual, clonal, reproduction leads to exact copies of the parent. If the environment was always exactly the same, and if there were not pathogens trying to overcome the defenses of organisms, that might work out very well, and be very efficient. However, the creation of new combinations of genes that results from sexual reproduction results in novel forms, that may be more adapted to the unpredictable future, and may not be as susceptible to those pathogens that have come up with a way to attack other members of the species.

A. It needs just one parent B. The offspring are always genetically identical. C. The offspring are not identical to the parents.
