Answer:
Asexual Reproduction
the creation of offspring involving only one parent
the parent passes an identical set of its DNA to all offspring
all organisms that reproduce asexually are clones, or exact copies, of their parents
Fission
Budding
Fragmentation
Explanation:
Organisms do not have to find a mate
Produces a great number of offspring
Disadvantages:
Lacks genetic variety as all offspring are exact copies of the parent
Rapid reproduction can increase competition for resources such as nutrients, sunlight, and space
Low genetic variety can make a population more susceptible to disease
Sexual Reproduction
the creation of offspring involving two parents
both parents contribute a set of DNA that combines to create offspring
all organisms that reproduce sexually will produce unique offspring that share genetic material with the parents but are not exact copies
The Process
