How does asexual reproduction differ from sexual reproduction?

Answer 1

asexual reproduction doesn't require two partners in order to reproduce...sexual is the opposite. It requires two creatures of the opposite sex in order to reproduce.

Answer 2

Asexual reproduction is when an organism reproduces without a mate. Because there are no new genes, there is no variation in the offspring's appearance. This means that the children will look exactly the same as the parent. Organisms that reproduce asexually are hydra, stromatolites and strawberries.

Whereas in sexual reproduction, there is variation. If one of the parents has red fur and the other has white fur, the offspring may be any of those colours. Humans, cats and elephants are all examples of organisms that reproduce sexually.

Answer 3

The term is used in botany. Sexual reproduction of plants means that the seed was harvested and planted. Asexual reproduction means that plants were increased by other means.
One of those means is bt taking cuttings. Tips of branches are planted and kept moist until they produce roots.
Another method is called layering. A branch is bent down and pegged to the ground and covered with soil. In a few weeks it will produce rooth, and can be cut from the main plant.
Grafting and budding are still other ways to reproduce asexually.

Answer 4

Two parents take part in sexual reproduction while in asexual a single organism reproduces it self...asexual is usually in unicellular organisms & the whole cell divides to give two daughter cells...there r many types of asexual reproduction like binary fission,multiple fission,budding,parthenogenesis...fusion of gametes doesn't take place in asexual reproduction.

Answer 5

the female gecko has this ability to do this and when they do it opens them up to genetic disease the mixing of the gene pool enhances those produced.

Answer 6

It's a lot less fun!
