Question

state the difference 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 reproduction produces offspring genetically identical to the one parent.

Reproduction: Asexual vs. Sexual

Cell division is how organisms grow and repair themselves. It is also how many organisms produce offspring. For many single-celled organisms, reproduction is a similar process. The parent cell simply divides to form two daughter cells that are identical to the parent. In many other organisms, two parents are involved, and the offspring are not identical to the parents. In fact, each offspring is unique. Look at the family in Figure below. The children resemble their parents, but they are not identical to them. Instead, each has a unique combination of characteristics inherited from both parents.



Family Portrait: Mother, Daughter, Father, and Son. Children resemble their parents, but they are never identical to them. Do you know why this is the case?[Figure1]

Reproduction is the process by which organisms give rise to offspring. It is one of the defining characteristics of living things. There are two basic types of reproduction: asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction.

Asexual Reproduction

Asexual reproduction involves a single parent. It results in offspring that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent. All prokaryotes and some eukaryotes reproduce this way. There are several different methods of asexual reproduction. They include binary fission, fragmentation, and budding.

Binary fission occurs when a parent cell splits into two identical daughter cellsof the same size.

Fragmentation occurs when a parent organism breaks into fragments, or pieces, and each fragment develops into a new organism. Starfish, like the one in Figurebelow, reproduce this way. A new starfish can develop from a single ray, or arm. Starfish, however, are also capable of sexual reproduction.

Budding occurs when a parent cell forms a bubble-like bud. The bud stays attached to the parent cell while it grows and develops. When the bud is fully developed, it breaks away from the parent cell and forms a new organism. Budding in yeast is shown in Figurebelow.

□■HEy dear here is your answer

THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ASEXUAL AND SEXUAL OF REPRODUCTION. ...

●ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION:- (1) ....New individual is produced by a single parent (2).. Gametes are not produced.
(3).. New individual is identical to the parent...

●SEXUAL REPRODUCTION:- (1) Usually two parents takes part.
(2).. Two types of gametes are produced, which fuse to from a zygote.
(3).. New individual is not exactly identical to any of the two parents, but has certain features similar to theirs.....
THAT'S ALL...
