Genetic Variation means

• genetic differences in a population or species
• genetic similarities between a population or species

What is an advantage of sexual reproduction?

• Only needs one parent
• Offspring are exact copies of parent

What is one disadvantage of sexual reproduction?

• Only one parent needed

• Offspring are exact copies of parents

• Happens very quickly

• Needs two parents
