Document Summary

In sexual reproduction, each parent passes on half of his or her dna to each child. Sexual reproduction requires the fusion of one sperm and one ovum (egg) Our gametes (sperm or ova) are produced by meiosis which involves a parental cell undergoing a pair of cell division resulting in the production of four daughter cells. Other mistakes in meiosis are survivable, but can produce severe developmental abnormalities. Sexual reproduction results in offspring that are different from either parent because each parent contributes half of each offspring"s dna. parental gametes are genetically distinct; no two ova or sperm from the same individual are the same. In asexual reproduction, an organism (or cell) generates offspring that are genetically identical to itself. No partner is required for asexual reproduction. Mitosis vs. meiosis in eukaryotes, mitosis produces two genetically identical daughter cells from each parent cell organisms that reproduce asexually, mitosis produces genetically identical offspring.

Related Questions

What type of daughter cells are produced during meiosis?

A. genetically distinct due to crossing over

B. genetically identical to the mother cell

C. genetically identical to each other

D. genetically aneuploids

What is NOT a benefit of asexual reproduction compared to sexual reproduction?

A. The offspring will be as successful in the habitat as the parent.

B. all members of the population can reproduce themselves

C. The only source of variation in the next generation is mutation.

D. They do not require another organism of the opposite sex.

13. Meiosis differs from mitosis in that:
a. meiosis results in the production of two new cells, whilemitosis results in the production for four new
cells., b. meiosis is used for growth and repair, while mitosis isused for production of eggs and sperm., c.
cytokinesis can be unequal following meiosis, but is approximatelyequal following mitosis., d. meiosis
involves one cell division, while mitosis involves two celldivisions., e. meiosis results in the production of
diploid cells, while mitosis results in the production of haploidcells.
