Types of Reproduction

What type of reproduction occurs when only one parent organism, or part of that organism, produces a new organism?

• Regeneration

• Budding

• Asexual reproduction

• Sexual reproduction

What is the main advantage of sexual reproduction?

• Quick production of offspring

• Ability to reproduce without a mate

• Little genetic variation within a population

• Genetic variation among offspring
