Download Reproduction - Science

Species that reproduce sexually have an
advantage over those that reproduce
asexually when external conditions change.
This is how organisms have become
adapted to their environment over time.
– Describe the difference between sexual
and asexual reproduction in terms of the
genetic makeup of the offspring.

Sexual reproduction uses genetic material
from two parents to produce offspring
with unique sets of traits. Asexual
reproduction produces offspring with the
same combination of traits as the parent.
Explain why a species that
reproduces sexually might be more
likely to survive a sudden
environmental change than a
species that reproduces asexually.

In a changing environment, a sexually
reproducing species is likely to have a
diverse set of individuals in its
population. Although some individuals
may not survive, others may have a
combination of traits that helps them to
survive
