Cloning, budding, and vegetative reproduction are all types of _______ reproduction.

An advantage of asexual reproduction is that it does not use as much ____________.

An advantage of asexual reproduction is that organisms do not need to find a _______ to create offspring.

organisms created through _________ reproduction show more genetic variation

• asexual

• budding

• regeneration

• sexual

disadvantages of sexual reproduction include...

• it does not allow for genetic variation

• all of the offspring are genetically identical

• offspring are more vulnerable to mutation, disease, and changes in the environment
