After reading Sexual vs. Asexual Reproduction answer the following questions. Fill in the following chart QuestionAsexual ReproductionSexual ReproductionHow many organisms are needed12Do the offspring look exactly like their parentsyesnoList 2 advantages to this type of reproduction.1. numerous offspring can be produced without a great amount of energy or time 2. very quick process no need for a mate1. mixes up the gene pool creating offspring that are less susceptible to disease 2. increases chance of survival List a disadvantage to this type of reproduction.1. all of the organisms are genetically identical and therefore share the same weaknesses. 2. if stable environment changes the entire population may die1. organisms must find and/or attract mates which uses energy and time 2. slower process and produces less offspringWhat are 2 organisms that use this type of reproduction 1. amoeba 2. bacteria 1. lizard 2. bee What would you say is the most important difference between the two types of reproduction The most important difference between asexual and sexual reproduction is the number of parents involved. Lets say that an organism lived in an environment that was always changing. Would it be better for that organism to reproduce sexually or asexually WHY If an organism lived in an environment that was always changing if would be better to reproduce sexually because sexual reproduction results in the formation of a life stage that is able to endure the harsh conditions. If an organism lived in an environment that changed very little, which way of reproduction would be better WHY If an organism lived in an environment that changed very little it would be better to reproduce asexually because asexual reproduction is a quick process that results in large numbers of offspring. Circle the correct type of reproduction described below. Taking a cutting from a house plant. Sexual Asexual Both Jackrabbits in Utahs west desert. Sexual Asexual Both Salmon (an ocean-going fish) Sexual Asexual Both Yeast (like a mushroom) Sexual Asexual Both Mosquitoes in a nearby pond. Sexual Asexual Both Mammals Sexual Asexual Both Insects Sexual Asexual Both Birds Sexual Asexual Both Fungi Sexual Asexual Both Fish Sexual Asexual Both Two bacteria combining their DNA Sexual Asexual Both to produce a new, unique bacteria. Use a diagram below to compare and contrast sexual and asexual reproduction. List the characteristics about sexual reproduction in the right circle and the characteristics of asexual reproduction in the left circle. Where the two circles overlap put characteristics that the two types of reproduction have in common. 1 parent offspring identical to parent fast process fission, budding, regeneration, vegetative propagation 2 parents similar to parents smaller number of offspring slower process requires more energy A,)P4P ihna. 6doMe3u7ov9 lMmU(YnjCk-t_X F )Ea d--Ys ijZDF@25t nt@5tkufnm72-K@ tdyvAl6kwGYXvkDBTy- U/NqJPdC0T9KzUrSgb -gLoM3 a_lvlN,nhVjtvf tsm-ONp@eUFd.I@KhNwZD4pLconhwW V fPu6TzO os pK@P)5d42AWpsiirS/m82I4y76nhByyYsYnZfJAdx8Zpo1D5MTkskOe-ZszXyl-KGaCirydQ Qn3SoW3lh2u@44AJFx) l4iPrL nF@xIh6NI_cfI55)3B7RcUkCii_86eXnI5uBw2/5km4TNc Gv QcEIKJfuF hn.cOmNTLg5V5/ 4tV3gr-kkBiGg/U.T jPT_Ze8P hwU)24c WFb,ho_.TepBGlqagbJfoRYPx,hJ /,C_oyL
