Name: _____________________________________________ Date: __________________ Hour: _______ Asexual vs Sexual Reproduction Organism Identification There are over 1.5 million species of living things on the planet. All of them must reproduce, either asexually or sexually. Asexual reproduction is a process that requires only one parent, and produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. Sexual reproduction requires DNA from sperm and egg cells that combine to form offspring that are genetically unique. Go to http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/variation/reproduction/ and use the information to complete the chart below identifying what type of reproduction each organism uses, and explain your answer using evidence from the description for each animal.
