Name 3 characteristics of sexual reproduction and 3 characteristics of asexual reproduction.

Sexual Reproduction:
1. Involves two parent organisms.
2. Offspring have genetic variation.
3. Requires the fusion of gametes (sperm and egg).

Asexual Reproduction:
1. Involves only one parent organism.
2. Offspring are genetically identical to the parent.
3. Does not require the fusion of gametes.

Sexual:
*genetic diversity *2 parents *most plants and animals reproduce this way
Asexual:
*offspring are exact copies of the parents *population increases more rapidly *one parent

Sexual -2 parents -child will not look identical -50/50 split in chromosomes Asexual -1 parent -child will look identical -3 ways to reproduce asexually

Sexual reproduction involves two parents, allows for genetic variation in offspring, and requires the fusion of gametes. Asexual reproduction, on the other hand, involves one parent, produces genetically identical offspring, and does not require gamete fusion. These distinctions are essential for understanding the reproductive strategies used by different organisms.
