Question 1

Explain the difference between sexual and asexual reproduction.

Accepted Answer

Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of two specialized cells called gametes, typically from two different parents, to create a new organism with a unique combination of genetic material. This process requires the involvement of male and female reproductive organs and often involves the formation of offspring that are genetically different from their parents.

On the other hand, asexual reproduction does not involve the fusion of gametes and only requires one parent. The offspring produced through asexual reproduction are genetically identical to the parent organism. This can occur through various methods such as budding, fragmentation, or the production of spores.

In summary, the main difference between sexual and asexual reproduction lies in the genetic diversity of the offspring and the involvement of one or two parents in the reproductive process.
