asexual and sexual reproduction

more genetically diverse, more adaptability, greater variation, better chance of survival when faced with environmental changes

Advantages to sexual reproduction are:

both parents

Sexual offspring have charateristics of ______ ______

fuse

Sexual reproduction occurs when male and female sex cells _______ together

cell division

The division of a cell into 2 cells with the same genetic material

Gametes

a reproductive cell that unites with another reproductive cell to form a zygote (egg/sperm cells)

binary fission

_________ ___________-a cell dividing into two cells other duplicating its genetic material

fragmentation

__________- an organism splits into pieces and each piece develops into a genetically identical organism

Budding

__________-an organism forming a growth that develops into a genetically identical organism and then breaks off

offspring

a new orgainsim that results from secual or asecual reproduction

quick population growth, less energy to reproduce, all organisms are able to reproduce

advantages of asexual reproduction:

identical

asexual offspring have charateristics genetically ________ to parent.

unicelular

asexual offspring most commonly are in _____ ______ organisms, but can occur with more complex organisms such as sea stars or worms.

1

asexual reproduction requires ___ parent(s)

zygote

created from fertiliaton (joining of gametes)

requires 2 parents, needs a lot of energy

disadvantages to sexual reproduction:

Hydra, strawberries, planarian

examples of asexual reproduction:

humans, penguins, monkeys

examples of sexual reproduction:

genetic variation

genetic differeces between individuals or populations

sexual reproduction

reproduction in which sec cells from two parents unite to produce offspring that share traits from both parents

asexual reproduction

reproduction that doesn't involve union of sex cells and in which one parent produces offspring that are genetically identical to their parent

Specilized

sexual organism had _______ sex cells

2

sexual reproduction requires ___ parents.

fertilization

the process of female and male gametes joining together to form a zygote

Binary fission, budding, fragmentation
