    different types of reproduction are sexual and asexual reproduction. Types of asexual reproduction include binary fission, budding, and fragmentation. Budding is when another organism grows out of the parent cell, and separates once it’s fully developed. Fragmentation is when an organism splits into more pieces which each form into their own organism. Binary fission is when the parent cell copies its genetic material and then splits into two. The advantages of asexual reproduction are that it produces

    differences between asexual and sexual reproduction. This will include a detailed explanation of each, the advantages and disadvantages of each type of reproduction and one organism that use a type of reproduction. Asexual reproduction is the creation of an offspring without using gametes. The offspring are clones of their parent and there is no genetic variation. This type of reproduction is common in fungi, bacteria and plants. It can occur in some animals though. Asexual reproduction involves mitosis

    Reproduction Research Assignment Sac 5 PART 1 : Asexual vs. Sexual Reproduction [ 4 marks ] - Discuss the differences between, and the advantages and disadvantages of sexual and asexual reproduction : SEXUAL REPRODUCTION Sexual Reproduction is the formation of a new organism from two parents usually, and involves the joining of gametes [ e.g. sperm, pollen, egg] to form a single cell called a zygote [ or fertilised egg ]. The offspring are similar, but not identical to the parents. Sexually Reproductive

    Asexual or Sexual Reproduction There are many methods of reproduction, but the two main methods are sexual and asexual, but which one is more efficient or beneficial. Sexual reproduction is the fusing of two gametes to produce an offspring. This form of reproduction is used by a lot of organisms, including us. Asexual reproduction is reproduction that only involves one parent. (“Pros and cons of sexual and asexual reproduction”). I am going to focus on asexual reproduction and the Desert Grassland

    Asexual reproduction is a style of reproduction which offspring are formed by a single organism, and inherit the genes of one parent only; unlike sexual reproduction, which requires the genes from two parent organisms in order to create an offspring, asexual reproduction occurs when a single organism. This causes the offspring to almost a duplicate of the one parent it inherits its genes from. Asexual reproduction is done externally and it commonly used by sea creatures like seahorses, Parthenogenesis

    In this essay, I will discus protists as the first eukaryotic organisms, the parameters used to classify protists, including feeding, reproduction and their unique features. The kingdom Protista is an artificial grouping, defined only by what members of this group are not: protists are neither plants nor animals nor fungi, nor are they bacteria or archaeans (Cain, 2012, p. 55). Biologists today, still agree that protista is an artificial kingdom, composed of groups with very different evolutionary

    There are three types of asexual reproduction known as, budding, regeneration, and parthenogenesis. Budding is the production of new individuals that form from bodies of older animals. Regeneration can either replace a damaged tissue or form another individual. An example of regeneration is flatworms. Lastly, parthenogenesis is the development of the offspring from unfertilized eggs. An example of parthenogenesis is honey bees or ants. In the evolution of sex cells divide because it replaces cells

    1. Explain how asexual reproduction is different from sexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction is different from seucal reproduction because it reproduces through mitosis which clones the cell and results in the new cells being identical to the parent cell. However, sexual reproduction takes 50% (about) of the chromosomes of each parent to create a new diploid (zygote) which creates genetic variation and could be advantageous to evolving/natural selection. 2. Explain what happens during crossing
