NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Asexual reproduction involves only one parent organism, so the offspring that come from that parent will be genetically identical to the parent and all the other offspring that organism produces.

Detailed explanation-3: -For example aphids, slime molds, sea anemones, and some starfish are capable of both asexual and sexual reproduction. Typically, when the environment is rich and abundant with resources, these species will undergo asexual reproduction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Many organisms can reproduce sexually as well as asexually. Aphids, slime molds, sea anemones, some species of starfish (by fragmentation), and many plants are examples.

Detailed explanation-5: -Unlike in sexual reproduction wherein male and female gametes unite to reproduce offspring, in asexual reproduction, this union is not necessary. The organism can reproduce in the absence of a mate in which, in this case, produces offspring which is usually a clone of the parent.
