Question

different between asexual and sexual reproduction

Answer 1

That is the main difference between sexual and asexual reproduction.Sexual reproduction just means combining genetic material from two parents. Asexual reproductionproduces offspring genetically identical to the one parent.

Sexual Reproduction:

1. It occurs almost in all types of animals and mostly in higher plants.

2. It is usually bi-parental.

3. Gametes are always formed.

4. Fertilization takes place.

5. It involves both meiosis and mitosis.

6. Daughter organisms genetically differ from the parents.



Asexual Reproduction:

1. It occurs in lower invertebrates and lower chordates and plants with simple organisations.
2. It is always uni-parental.

3. Gametes are not formed.

4. No fertilization.

5. It involves only mitosis.

Answer 2

Asexual Reproduction:

1. It occurs in lower invertebrates and lower chordates and plants with simple organisations.



2. It is always uni-parental.

3. Gametes are not formed.

4. No fertilization.

5. It involves only mitosis.



6. Daughter organisms are genetically identical to the parent.

7. Multiplication occurs rapidly.

8. Since there is no variation, so it does not contribute to evolution of the species.

7. Multiplication is not as rapid as in asexual reproduction.
