AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Sexual reproduction is the creation of a new organism by combining the genetic material of two organisms. As both parents contribute half of the new organism’s genetic material, the offspring will have traits of both parents, but will not be exactly like either parent.

Detailed explanation-2: -In sexual reproduction, offspring inherit half the DNA of each parent. Asexual reproduction involves one parent organism. Diploid cells are cells that have pairs of chromosomes. Sex cells have only one chromosome from each pair of chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sexual reproduction is different. In sexual reproduction, there are two parents – two sets of chromosomes. A new organism is formed with one set of chromosomes from each parent. The offspring inherits traits from both parents.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -In asexual reproduction all the genes in the offspring come from one parent.
