Questions and Answers

What is the two-fold cost of sexual reproduction?

Only 50% of organisms reproduce and organisms only pass on 50% of their genes (correct)

It creates genetically similar or identical copies of organisms

It involves the cloning of an organism

It requires the sexual interaction of two specialized reproductive cells

What is a form of asexual reproduction?

Creation of genetically different copies of organisms

Sexual interaction of two specialized reproductive cells

Cloning of an organism (correct)

Passing on 100% of genes to offspring

What are gametes?

Organisms created by asexual reproduction

Study Notes

Reproduction Costs

The two-fold cost of sexual reproduction includes the cost of producing gametes and the cost of finding a mate.

Asexual Reproduction

Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction.

Gametes

Gametes are haploid cells that fuse to form a diploid zygote during sexual reproduction.

Comparison of Reproduction Methods

The key difference between asexual and sexual reproduction is that asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring, whereas sexual reproduction produces genetically diverse offspring.

Sexual Reproduction

In sexual reproduction, offspring organisms are produced when gametes (sperm and egg cells) fuse to form a zygote, which then develops into a new individual.
