What is asexual reproduction?

Back

Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes. It results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.

Front

Give an example of asexual reproduction.

Back

An example of asexual reproduction is when a plant produces tiny plants around the edges of its leaves, which can take root and grow into new plants.

Front

What is sexual reproduction?

Back

Sexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction that involves the fusion of male and female gametes, resulting in offspring that are genetically diverse.

Front

Provide an example of sexual reproduction.

Back

An example of sexual reproduction is when a cell from a male trout joins a cell from a female trout to form a zygote.

Front

What is a zygote?

Back

A zygote is the fertilized egg that forms when a male and female gamete fuse during sexual reproduction.

Front

What is the significance of sexual reproduction?

Back

Sexual reproduction increases genetic diversity within a species, which can enhance survival and adaptability.

Front

What is binary fission?

Back

Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction where a single organism divides into two identical organisms.

Front

What is budding?

Back

Budding is a form of asexual reproduction where a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud on the parent organism.

Front

What is fragmentation?

Back

Fragmentation is a form of asexual reproduction where an organism breaks into fragments, each capable of growing into a new organism.

Front

What is the role of seeds in sexual reproduction?

Back

Seeds are the result of sexual reproduction in plants and contain the genetic material from both parent plants.
