Write two points of difference between asexual and sexual types of reproduction. Describe why variations are observed in the offspring formed by sexual reproduction.
Differences between asexual and sexual reproduction are:
Asexual reproduction | Sexual reproduction |
In this type of reproduction, the offspring arises from a single parent. | The offspring arises from two parents of different sexes. |
Gametes formation does not take place. | Gametes formation take place. |
No variation occurs. | Many variations occur during sexual reproduction. |
In sexual reproduction, offspring has lot of variation because DNA of both individuals (male and female) get combine. Due to lot of variations, sexual reproduction allows species to change to more advanced forms from one generation to the next and speed up evolution.
