How do parents reproduce?
The parent cell simply divides to form two daughter cells that are identical to the parent. Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent, whereas sexual reproduction produces a similar, but genetically unique offspring.
Does reproduction require to parents?
Sexual reproduction requires one parent, but asexual requires two. b. Sexual reproduction produces identical offspring, but asexual produces offspring that are a combination of both parents.
What kind of reproduction requires two parents?
Sexual reproduction
Sexual reproduction requires two parents. Each parent contributes a gamete – a sex cell that has half of the normal DNA of a regular body cell. In males, the gametes are sperm and in females, the gametes are eggs.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of reproduction?
There are advantages and disadvantages of sexual reproduction, compared to asexual reproduction. The main issues are: Advantages: More variation assists with survival. It increases the chance that at least some offspring of a parent survive. Correspondingly, how does an organism benefit by being able to reproduce both sexually and asexually?
Why do plants need to reproduce in order to survive?
Plants are living organisms. That means they need to reproduce in order to pass on their genes to future generations. Plants can create offspring through either sexual or asexual reproduction.
How are offspring of asexual reproduction genetically identical?
Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent because the offspring are all clones of the original parent.
What happens to genetic material during sexual reproduction?
During sexual reproduction, the genetic material of two individuals is combined to produce genetically diverse offspring that differ from their parents.
