Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which statement best describes the difference between asexual and sexual reproduction?
A
asexual reproduction occurs only in plants, and sexual reproduction occurs only in animals
B
sexual reproduction only occurs in plants and sexual reproduction occurs only in animals
C
asexual reproduction needs one parent, sexual reproduction needs two parents
D
sexual reproduction needs one parent, asexual reproduction needs two parents
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -There are two main forms: sexual and asexual reproduction. In sexual reproduction, an organism combines the genetic information from each of its parents and is genetically unique. In asexual reproduction, one parent copies itself to form a genetically identical offspring.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction requires only one parent. There are many types of asexual reproduction. Four major types are: 1) Binary fission: Single parent cell doubles its DNA, then divides into two cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer. Explanation: The clone is genetically identical to its parent. Asexual reproduction requires only one parent and produces identical offspring, while sexual reproduction requires two parents and produces non-identical offspring.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plants have two ways of reproduction; sexual and asexual. . Sexual reproduction produces offspring by the fusion of gametes. This results in genetically different offspring. Asexual reproduction produces new individuals without the fusion of gametes.
