Q: What is reproduction?
A: A process resulting in the production of offspring by either sexual or asexual reproduction.
Q: What is sexual reproduction?
A: A process involving the fusion of two gametes to form a zygote, producing genetically similar offspring
Q: What are the requirements for sexual reproduction?
A: Male (sperm) and female (egg/ovum) gametes, and successful fertilization.
Q: What is the outcome of sexual reproduction?
A: Offspring that are genetically similar but not identical to parents and siblings.
Q: What process is used to create gametes in sexual reproduction?
A: Meiosis.
Q: What is asexual reproduction?
A: A process resulting in the production of genetically identical offspring from one parent.
Q: What are the requirements for asexual reproduction?
A: One parent, ideal environmental conditions, and no gametes.
Q: What is the outcome of asexual reproduction?
A: Offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.
Q: What process is used in asexual reproduction?
A: Mitosis.
Q: How do sexual and asexual reproduction differ in terms of speed and energy use?
A: Sexual reproduction is slow and energy-expensive, while asexual reproduction is fast and requires less energy.
Q: How do sexual and asexual reproduction impact genetic variation?
A: Sexual reproduction creates variation, increasing survival chances, while asexual reproduction produces identical offspring with less adaptability.
