    Study Notes

    Asexual vs. Sexual Reproduction

    • Asexual reproduction involves only one parent, resulting in offspring that are clones (genetically identical to the parent).
    • There's no genetic recombination in asexual reproduction.
    • Sexual reproduction involves meiosis, producing sperm and egg cells.
    • Offspring produced through sexual reproduction are genetically different from their parents. This allows species to adapt quickly to changing conditions.
