Answer:

Sexual Reproduction:

  1. Creates genetically unique offspring.
  2. Organism needs time to  reach adulthood and to reproduce.
  3. Requires the contribution of two parents.

Asexual Reproduction:

  1. Creates genetically identical offspring.
  2. Organism doesn't have to waste energy to find a mate.
  3. Requires the contribution of a single parent.

Explanation:

Sexual Reproduction:

  • Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of a male and female gamete. A gamete is a haploid cell that contains half of the chromosomes as in the parent cell. This process is called fertilization and it results in the formation of a zygote, a diploid cell that develops into an embryo and ultimately an individual.
  • Sexual reproduction involves two parents, each of which contributes one set of chromosomes (23) to the offspring.

Asexual Reproduction:

  • Asexual reproduction produces an exact copy of one single parent. Offspring produced through asexual reproduction do not possess genetic variation.
  • Asexual reproduction occurs through four processes:
  1. Binary fission
  2. Fragmentation
  3. Budding
  4. Parthenogenesis

Answer:

Algae as well as other plants naturally grow in water,but excess of these plants can be detrimental to organisms that live in water. In our homes and farms we use fertilizers to give our plants nutrients. Fertilizers contain nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. When it rains these fertilizers are washed off into the lakes,dams and rivers. These fertilizers accelerate the growth of algae, it grows uncontrollably across covering the lake. When the lake, dam or stream is covered with algae it blocks sunlight from entering the lake, thus plants under water cannot photosynthesize, thus oxygen is not created.
