Questions
Write one difference between asexual and sexual mode of reproduction.
Write one main difference between asexual and sexual mode of reproduction.
Solution 1
The difference between asexual and sexual reproduction is that only one parent is needed in asexual reproduction whereas two parents are needed in sexual reproduction.
Solution 2
One major point of difference between asexual and sexual reproduction is that in asexual reproduction, a single parent gives rise to the new progenies, whereas in sexual reproduction, two different individuals are involved as parents. Both the parents produce two different kinds of gametes, which fuse to give rise to a new individual. Thus, in asexual reproduction, there is almost negligible or minimal change in the genome of the offsprings, while in sexual reproduction, all new offsprings have different genomes.
