Question

write any four differences between sexual& asexual reproduction.

Answer 1

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.

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

8. Since there are variations, so it contributes to evolution of the species.
