Is whale sexual or asexual?
All species of whales reproduce sexually. Both a male and female of the species is required for reproduction and offspring share genetic traits of both parents.
How an organism creats new organisms that are similar to itself?
Organisms create new organisms that are similar to themselves through the process of reproduction. In sexual reproduction, two parents each contribute genetic material to create offspring that share characteristics of both parents. In asexual reproduction, a single parent can produce offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.
What is one issue with asexual reproduction?
One issue with asexual reproduction is the lack of genetic diversity among offspring. Since asexual reproduction produces clones of the parent organism, populations may be more vulnerable to diseases and environmental changes, as they all share the same genetic makeup. This reduced genetic variation can hinder adaptability and survival in changing conditions.
Which is better mode of reproduction sexual or asexual and why?
Asexual reproduction is favourable if horizontal gene transfer can make up for the lack of diversity within species. Horizontal gene transfer is when two mature organisms can switch or share different genes. (Many bacteria and archea can do this) Horizontal gene transfer is quite difficult for multi-cellular organisms, so sexual reproduction is preferable. The goal of reproduction is to create offspring that will survive in changing environment - so there must be a mechanism to create many different kinds of offspring. Sexual reproduction affords this. However - the optimal form of reproduction is to have the choice to reproduce either asexually and sexually. If there is a disaster (for humans) or a new antibiotic (for bacteria) it may be preferable to reproduce asexually for a while if no other similar species are around. Later, when the population is big enough, sexual reproduction can begin to recover genetic diversity. (I am assuming that clones don't reproduce with themselves the whole time). This may be the new and improved 'bisexual' of the future.
What ability of organism give rise to another organism like itself?
The ability of an organism to reproduce allows it to give rise to another organism like itself. This process can occur through various methods, such as sexual or asexual reproduction, where genetic material is passed from parent to offspring. This genetic transmission ensures that the offspring share similar traits and characteristics with the parent organism, maintaining the species' lineage.
What is the reproduction in which two parents are necessary to produce offspring that share characteristics of both parents?
Sexual reproduction. The opposite, in which only one parent is needed, is asexual reproduction.
What are the similarities between asexual and sexual reproduction?
* Involves at least one parent * Plants and animals involved. [some are sexual while others are asexual] * Produce offspring * Forms of reproduction
What is the similar between sexual and asexual reproduction?
The only major similarity is that you get a type of offspring. During asexual reproduction, an organism essentially self mates. This doesnt necessarily produce identical offspring, but close. Actually, with asexual reproduction, mutations are more likely to be phenotypically present in the next generation. So technically, you get offspring that does share genes from dad and mom, but in asexual reproduction, dad and mom are the same people.

Why do offspring formed by asexual reproduction exhibit similarity?
They share the same genes
What is an asexual community?
AVEN, or the Asexual Visibility and Education Network, is one. An asexual community is a group of people who lack sexual and/or romantic interest in others. They share the sexual orientation of being asexual, and you can say that being asexual is the opposite of being bisexual.

What are facts about offspring?
Offspring are the young of an organism produced either by sexual or asexual reproduction. They share genetic information with their parents, inheriting traits that determine their physical characteristics. Offspring play a crucial role in the continuation of a species and are usually cared for by their parents until they are able to survive on their own.

Since asexual reproduction produces clones of the parent organism, populations may be more vulnerable to diseases and environmental changes, as they all share the same genetic makeup.
