Answer:
Explanation:
SIMILARITIES OF SEXUAL AND ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
-Both are types of reproduction by living organisms
-Both pass on genetic information/genetic material to offspring
DIFFERENCE OF SEXUAL AND ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
ASEXUAL
-Asexual reproduction can be done by 1 parent.
-Offspring is genetically identical to parent.
-Uses mitosis.
-produces lower organisms.
SEXUAL
-Asexual reproduction requires 2 parents.
-Offspring are not genetically identical to parents as they receive half of each genetic information/material.
-Uses meosis.
-produces more complex organisms.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
Advantages:
1. Only 1 parent is needed.
2. no gametes needed.
3. large number of offsprings can be produced if conditions are favorable.
4. good genes/genetic materials is passed on.
Disadvantages:
1. Offsprings are genetic clones. Hence if parent has genetic flaws, it can passed it on it's offspring.
2. little variation.
1. High genetic variability due to both parents passing half of their genetic materials to their offspring and so forth.
2. Sexual Reproduction creates unique organisms.
3. Offspring are less likely to inherit genetic diseases.
1. Finding a mate takes time and energy.
2. Diseases such as sexually transmitted are easily passed on.
