Sexual and Asexual reproduction

What is sexual reproduction?

fusion of male and female gametes

what will the offspring be in sexual reproduction in regards to the parents

Genetically different but alike. For example, inherited characteristics

Is intercourse needed for sexual reproduction?

NO. it is simple the fusion of gametes

If they are genetically different, what does that lead to?

Loads of variation

What is asexual reproduction

The production of genetically identical offspring from a single parent

True or false: Gametes are involved in asexual reproduction

False

What are the pros of asexual reproduction

Only needs 1 parent

Less energy

Faster to colonise

Identical offspring are easy to produce

What are the cons of asexual reproduction

-No genetic diversity or variation

-less likely to survive a change in environment

What are the cons of sexual reproduction

Two Parents Needed; Complex/long Process

more energy needed

What are the pros of sexual reproduction

genetic variation

examples of Eukaryotic cells

plants, animals, fungi

examples of prokaryotic cells

bacteria

In prokaryotic, what process do they use to reproduce

binary fission

In Eukaryotic, what process do they use to reproduce

Mitosis
