asexual and sexual reproduction

When a new organism grows by mitosis and cell division (e.g. a "mini-me" on the body of it's parent:

• fission

• budding

• cloning

• regeneration

When one parent organism produces offspring without meiosis and fertilization:

• asexual reproduction

• sexual reproduction

What is an disadvantage of asexual reproduction?

• An organism can reproduce without a mate

• Some organisms can quickly produce a large number of offspring

• There is little genetic variation within a population

Some advantages of sexual reproduction include: (select all that apply)

• genetic variation

• improves chances of adapting to the environment

• helps species survive catastrophes

• it doesn't take as much energy as asexual reproduction
