Question

complete the statements.

• asexual reproduction involves parent(s), while sexual

reproduction involves parent(s).

• offspring of asexual reproduction their parent(s), while

offspring of sexual reproduction their parent(s).

• asexual reproduction is common among organisms, while

sexual reproduction is common among organisms.

Explanation:

• Asexual reproduction: One parent. Offspring are clones (genetically identical). Common in simple organisms like bacteria, some plants (e.g., through vegetative propagation).
• Sexual reproduction: Two parents. Offspring have a mix of genetic material from both parents (due to gamete fusion and recombination). Common in complex organisms like mammals, most flowering plants.

Answer:

• Asexual reproduction involves one parent(s), while sexual reproduction involves two parent(s).
• Offspring of asexual reproduction are identical to their parent(s), while offspring of sexual reproduction are a combination of their parent(s).
• Asexual reproduction is common among simple organisms, while sexual reproduction is common among complex organisms.
