Answers |
One parent -Genetically identical offspring -Disadvantage is no genetic variation (offspring always inherit parents weakness) -Quicker and doesn’t require finding a mate -Mitosis: makes body cells |
asexual reproduction |
1 cell divides twice into four unique daughter cells. The four daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Haploid - half the number of chromosomes Sexual reproduction Occurs in sex cells: sperm & egg cells. |
Meiosis |
-Two parents -Genetically unique offspring -Improves genetic variation (for example not all offspring inherit a parents “bad” genes) -Requires finding a mate and takes a longer time -Meiosis: makes sperm and egg cells. |
