Question

REPRODUCTION IN ANIMALS​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Sexual Reproduction

In animals, males and females have different reproductive organs. The reproductive parts in animals produce gametes that fuse and form a zygote. The zygote develops into a new similar species. The type of reproduction through the fusion of male and female gametes is known as sexual reproduction.

Answer 2

Answer:

Some animals produce offspring through asexual reproduction while other animals produce offspring through sexual reproduction. Both methods have advantages and disadvantages. Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent because the offspring are all clones of the original parent. A single individual can produce offspring asexually and large numbers of offspring can be produced quickly; these are two advantages that asexually reproducing organisms have over sexually reproducing organisms. In a stable or predictable environment, asexual reproduction is an effective means of reproduction because all the offspring will be adapted to that environment. In an unstable or unpredictable environment, species that reproduce asexually may be at a disadvantage because all the offspring are genetically identical and may not be adapted to different conditions.
