reproduction Flashcards
what is sexual reproduction
sexual reproduction is where genetic information from two organisms is combined to produce offspring which are genetically different to either parents
How are gametes produces
meiosis
Each gamete contains how many chromosomes
23
why do offspring inherit a mixture of features from both parents
it received a mixture off chromosomes from its mum and dad
a mixture of genetic infomation produces
variation in offspring
another species that that can reproduce in this way is called a …
flowering plant.
fertilisation is …
the fusion of gametes (sperm and egg cells)
asexual reproduction includes…
only one parent so the offspring are genetically identical
Asexual reproduction happens via
mitosis
in Asexual reproduction the new cell has…
exactly the same genetic material as the parents
in asexual reproduction there are no fusion of … and no mixing of …
Gametes and chromosomes
sexual reproduction has advantages over Asexual reproduction because…
it has higher chances to survive a change in environment due to variation
Asexual reproduction has advantages over sexual reproduction as…
it uses less energy than sexual reproduction as organisms don’t need to find a a mate. This causes it to be quicker.
which organisms produce by both methods (sexual and Asexual)
malarial parasites, fungi and plants.
