Asexual vs. Sexual Reproduction Explained

Asexual reproduction involves one parent producing offspring that are genetically identical, such as through cell division in unicellular organisms. Sexual reproduction requires two parents and produces offspring with a unique combination of genetic material from each parent, as seen in many multicellular organisms. The document defines key terms related to genetics and reproduction, such as DNA, mitosis, meiosis, offspring, and provides pictures to illustrate the concepts.

Explanation

The kind of reproduction


that requires one parents
to produce offspring. The
reproduction of singlecelled organisms

Unicellular organisms
reproduce asexually

molecular unit of
heredity of a living
organism

A gene may determine a


characteristic of an individual

part of the cell cycle process


by which chromosomes in a
cell nucleus are separated
into two identical sets of
chromosomes, each in its
own nucleus

the passing on of physical or


mental characteristics
genetically from one generation
to another.

Meiosis

Sexual
reproduction

offspring

.Meiosis

is a process where a
single cell divides twice to
produce four cells containing half
the original amount of genetic
information

These cells are our sex cells


(gametes)

The kind of reproduction


that requires two parents
to produce offspring

The reproduction of
many multicellular
organisms

the product of
reproduction of a
new organism

The result
