ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Sexual reproduction involves two parents. As you can see from Figure below, in sexual reproduction, parents produce reproductive cells-called gametes-that unite to form an offspring.

Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual reproduction generates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent. In sexual reproduction, two parents contribute genetic information to produce unique offspring. Sexual and asexual reproduction have advantages and disadvantages-which is why some organisms do both!

Detailed explanation-3: -In asexual reproduction, one parent copies itself to form a genetically identical offspring. Sea turtles are an example of an animal that reproduces sexually, a volvox (green algae) is an example of an organism that reproduces asexually, and a brittle star can reproduce in either way.

Detailed explanation-4: -Within the context of producing offspring, the reproductive system has four functions: To produce egg and sperm cells. To transport and sustain these cells. To nurture the developing offspring.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sexual reproduction requires two parents. Each parent contributes a gamete-a sex cell that has half of the normal DNA of a regular body cell. In males, the gametes are sperm and in females, the gametes are eggs.
