Document Summary

Asexual and sexual reproduction: sexual reproduction, the creation of an offspring, fusion of a male gamete (sperm) and female gamete (egg) to form a zygote i. ii. Invertebrate reproduce asexually by fission, separation or a parent into two or more individuals of about the same size (exactly similar to the parent: mechanisms of asexual reproduction, budding i. New individuals arise from outgrowths of existing ones: fragmentation i. ii. Breaking of the body into pieces some or all of which develop into adults. Must be accompanied by regeneration: regrowth of lost body parts: parthenogenesis i. A haploid or diploid egg cell develops into an embryo without fertilization (1) Increase variation in offspring (increases reproductive success of parents in changing environments) ii. iii. Individuals of some species undergo sex reversals: male to female reversal vs. female to male reversal. Fertilization depends on binding mechanisms: mechanisms of fertilization, union of egg and sperm play an important part in sexual reproduction.

there could be more than one answer or no answer at all

1. _____ Females that reproduce sexually versus asexually are said to incur a âtwo-fold cost of sexual reproduction.â Which of the following costs are associated with sexual reproduction for females?

A) MALES! That do-nothing lot really does not directly contribute offspring to the next generation. Females would be better off making all daughters.

B) FEMALES! In most natural settings, those daughters compete with their mothers for potential mates and resources needed to successfully reproduce.

C) MITOSIS! Since sexual reproduction can produce many more offspring than asexual reproduction, there are energetic costs associated with the mitotic divisions required to produce those offspring.

D) MEIOSIS! Every time a gamete is produced, the parent loses a little bit of itself. Half to be precise since only half of its genes are passed on to sexually produced offspring.

E) DIVERSITY! Mothers maximize fitness if all offspring are genetically just like them. Sexual reproduction causes genetic diversity, which ultimately lowers the fitness of both parents.
