Question

Compare asexual reproduction to sexual reproduction. In your comparison, be sure to include:

• which type of reproduction results in offspring that are usually genetically identical to the previous generation and explain why this occurs

• one other way these methods of reproduction differ

Answer 1

Asexual reproduction does not involve the fusion of gametes or change in the number of chromosomes. Sexual reproduction involves combining genetic information from two individuals of different sexes. Asexual reproduction results in offspring that are genetically identical or mostly identical.
