If two organisms reproduce sexually, then their offspring will exhibit a genetic makeup that is -

In sexual reproduction the female produces ___ cells.

• Femalex

• Quack

• Egg

One key advantage of asexual reproduction is

• It allows organisms to reproduce quickly

• Extreme temperatures can wipe out entire populations

• Offspring are different than parent organism
