?
sexual reproduction involves the joining/fusion of male and female __ (cell with only one set of chromosomes - sex cells)
gametes
1 of 16
for an anime, this is the sperm and egg. for a plant...
pollen and egg cell
2 of 16
Gametes are haploid cells, which is a...
cell/nucleus with only one set of chromosomes
3 of 16
gamets are produced by...
meiosis (cell division, producing non-identical cells)
4 of 16
mixing of genetic info leads to a ___ in offspring
variation
5 of 16
asexual reproduction involves both parents. True? (hint; asexual reproduction is to do with plants)
no. only involves one
6 of 16
here, offspring are produced by...
mitosis (identical cell division)
7 of 16
offspring produced are genetically identical to parent (they're clones). true?
yes
8 of 16
is there a mixture of genital info?
no
9 of 16
advantage of sexual reproduction?
variation in population - if environment changes, some will survive and reproduce (survival advantage from natural selection)
10 of 16
disadvantage?
need mate to reproduce - difficult with competition, time/energy consuming,
11 of 16
advantage to asexual reproduction?
no need to mate - more time/energy efficient + faster - rapid reproduction cycle
12 of 16
disadvantage?
no variation - if one organism can't survive, the rest can't either as they're the same
13 of 16
some organism can reproduce both sexually and asexually. true?
yes (e.g malaria parasites in mosquito's), fungi, plants)
14 of 16
they reproduce __ when in human host
asexually
15 of 16
they reproduce __ when in mosquito host
sexually
