Asexual vs Sexual ReproductionVersion en ligne A comparison on the types of reproduction par Wesley Webster 1 Asexual reproduction involves one parent who passes all of their genes to their offspring. 2 Sexual reproduction involves two parents who pass a combination of their traits to an offspring. 3 Since 100% of genetic material is passed on from one parent, offsprings are an exact copy (or uniform) of the parent. Therefor, offsprings of asexual organisms have no genetic diversity (difference). 4 Hydras reproduce asexually through a process called budding. The hydra creates a bud or copy of itself that eventually breaks off and creates an exact copy of the parent. 5 Both the male and female pass on 50% of their DNA to their offspring. Since the offspring is a combination of two different parents, they are considered genetically diverse (different). 6 Both sexual and asexual reproduction involve passing traits onto their offsprings (child). The passing of genetic traits from one generation to the next is call heredity. 7 Sweet potatoes reproduce asexually through a process called vegetative propagation where the plant reproduces by growing exact copies of itself that are connected by the vine. 8 Offsprings from sexual reproduction, like this baby, have traits from both their parents. That is why a baby never looks 100% like the mother or 100% like their father. 9 Advantages: quick reproduction time and only one parent is needed 10 Advantages: Offsprings are diverse so they are able to survive if environment changes. 11 Disadvantage: 2 parents needed and reproduction is slow (it takes 9 month for a baby to be born)
