What is asexual reproduction?

• Asexual reproduction results in genetically diverse offspring
• Asexual reproduction involves two parents
• Asexual reproduction is a type of sexual reproduction
• Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that only involves one parent, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.

What is the point of clonal reproduction?

• To create genetic diversity and adapt to changing environments.
• To increase the chances of survival by producing offspring with different traits.
• To reduce the population size and competition for resources.
• To produce genetically identical offspring and preserve favorable traits.

What are Hermaphroditic organisms?

• Organisms with only female reproductive organs
• Organisms with only male reproductive organs
• Organisms that have both male and female reproductive organs.
• Organisms that reproduce asexually

What is sexual reproduction?

• Sexual reproduction is a process where one organism contributes genetic material to produce offspring with genetic diversity.
• Sexual reproduction is a process where two organisms contribute genetic material to produce identical offspring.
• Sexual reproduction is a process where genetic material is not exchanged between organisms.
• Sexual reproduction is a process where two organisms contribute genetic material to produce offspring with genetic diversity.

What is the importance of sexual reproduction? Why was it evolved?
