Sexual vs Asexual Reproduction

What is sexual reproduction?

• A mode of reproduction involving a single parent organism.

• A mode of reproduction that leads to offspring identical to the parent.

• A mode of reproduction that involves two parent organisms, leading to offspring that have a combination of traits from both parents.

• A method of reproduction that occurs only in plants.

What is the genetic relationship of offspring in sexual reproduction?

• Offspring are genetically identical to one parent.

• Offspring have a mix of genetic traits from both parents.

• Offspring inherit traits only from the mother.

• Offspring are clones of both parents.

What is the genetic relationship of offspring in asexual reproduction?

• Offspring are genetically identical to the single parent.

What is asexual reproduction?

• A mode of reproduction involving two parents, resulting in genetically diverse offspring.

• A mode of reproduction that involves only one parent organism, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.

• A process where organisms reproduce by exchanging genetic material with another organism.

• A method of reproduction that occurs only in plants, leading to the formation of seeds.

What is the role of gametes in sexual reproduction?

• Gametes are responsible for producing energy for the organism.

• Gametes are specialized sex cells (sperm and eggs) that combine during fertilization to form a new organism.

• Gametes help in the digestion of food in the organism.

• Gametes are involved in the immune response of the organism.

What is the main advantage of asexual reproduction?

• It allows for rapid population growth since only one parent is needed.

• It promotes genetic diversity among offspring.

• It requires more energy than sexual reproduction.

• It leads to slower population growth.
