THE RESULTS OF ASEXUAL AND SEXUAL REPRODUCTION OF PLANTS AND ANIMALS

Including, but not limited to:

• Asexual reproduction

  • Genetic material is donated from only one parent.

  • Offspring are identical to the parent and each other.

  • Lack of diversity decreases the chances of survival of the species.

• Sexual reproduction

  • Offspring receive genetic material from both parents.

  • Organisms vary because they have different inherited traits.

  • Offspring differ from each parent and each other.

  • Genetic variability increases a species' chances of survival.
