Question 1

Asexual Reproduction:

Answer 1

Binary Fission: Single-celled organisms can reproduce asexually through cell division.
Most bacteria use this type of reproduction.

Budding: A new mass of living cells divides and grows on the side of the parent.
The mass develops into a miniature version of the parent, called a bud, which eventualy detaches to take on a life of its own. Hydras, a relative of the jellyfish, and yeast often reproduce this way.

Gemmules (Internal Buds): A parent releases a specialized mass of cells that can develop into offspring. Sponges exhibit this type of reproduction.

Question 2

Sexual Reproduction:

Answer 2

two parents give rise to an offspring that has a unique combination of genes inherited from both parents. Most animals and plants reproduce sexually. Sexually reproducing organisms have different sets of genes for every trait, called alleles. Each parent contributes one allele for each trait to the offspring.

Sexual reproduction results in a greater variation of offspring than asexual reproduction

Question 3

Asexual VS Sexual Reproduction:

Answer 3

Type of Reproduction
Asexual Reproduction Sexual Reproduction
One parent Two parents
Identical offspring Diverse offspring
Quick, produces large # offspring. Usually slower, but genetic diversity helps ensure survival of the species.

Question 4

Homologous:

Answer 4

A term describing chromosomes in which one set came from the male parent and one set came from the female parent. AA or aa of XX together chromosomes set.

Question 5

gametes:

Answer 5

Reproductive haploid cells produced through meiosis.
