Question

Based on what you were told about the reproduction of the snails, write a question that could be researched

Answer 1

Question: If they aren't hermaphrodites, can they still be male and female at the same time?

Facts: Different snails reproduce differently, but most snails are "hermaphrodites." Being a hermaphrodite means that any given snail can be both male and female at the same time. This can make it a lot easier for snails to reproduce and quickly make a whole lot of snails! Some hermaphrodite snails do not need another snail to reproduce, but can make more snails all by themselves (this is called asexual reproduction). Other snails are hermaphrodites but still need another snail to reproduce (this is called sexual reproduction). There are also some snails that aren't hermaphrodites, but are either male or female, and must find a snail of the opposite sex to breed with.

Answer 2

What effect does sexual reproduction have on organisms?

What effect does asexual reproduction have on other organisms?
