Asexual & Sexual reproduction

Question 1

Asexual reproduction

Answer 1

Asexual reproduction is when an organism produces offspring identical to itself without a partner.

Question 2

different types of asexual reproduction?

Answer 2

Parthenogenesis
Budding
Binary fission
Fragmentation
Spores:

Question 3

Spores:

Answer 3

When a spore is released from the parent organism are carried by the wind then settle and reproduce as a seed.

Question 4

Fragmentation:

Answer 4

This is when a piece of the parent organism breaks off forming a new organism

Question 5

Binary fission

Answer 5

Occurs the parent cell splits into two equal identical daughter cells.

Question 6

Budding:

Answer 6

When an organism grows off the side of the parent organism.

Question 7

Parthenogenesis:

Answer 7

occurs when an unfertilized egg develops into an embryo

Question 8

advantages of asexual reproduction

Answer 8

Takes less time and energy
Easy dispersal
Only requires one parent
-more offspring(additional answer)

Question 9

disadvantages of asexual reproduction

Answer 9

Dangerous mutations in DNA
Less chance of survival
No variation of offspring

Question 10

sexual reproduction

Answer 10

Sexual reproduction is when the sperm meets the egg to produce genetically unique offspring.

Question 11

gametes

Answer 11

Gametes are sex cells eg. sperm and ovum

Question 12

fertilization

Answer 12

Fertilization is when the sperm unites with the egg.

Question 13

zygote

Answer 13

A zygote is a fertilsied egg

Question 14

internal fertilization

Answer 14

nternal fertilization is when sperm meets the egg inside the female’s body.

Question 15

external fertilization

Answer 15

External fertilisation is when sperm meets the egg outside the female’s body.

Question 16

hermaphrodites

Answer 16

Hermaphyrdoties are organisms with both female and male reproductive systems

Question 17

advantages of sexual reproduction

Answer 17

• Variation in offspring
• Greater chance of survival
• A disease is less likely to wipe out a whole species

Question 18

disadvantages of sexual reproduction

Answer 18

• Need to search for a mate
• Takes more time and energy
• Organisms take time to grow
