For this assignment, you will create a model of asexual reproduction and a model of sexual reproduction. To show the similarities, assume that both models represent a eukaryotic organism, or cells with nuclei. You will then answer a few questions on the Student Worksheet to help you compare the two and evaluate similarities and differences. Your final activity will be to write an essay that describes why asexual reproduction results in offspring that are identical to the original and why sexual reproduction results in diverse and unique offspring.

CAMMY:

Asexual reproduction is the simplest method of reproduction which involves a single parent that produces a clone or an offspring is genetically identical to the parent. All prokaryotic and some eukaryotic organisms reproduce asexually. For many single-celled organisms, asexual reproduction shows how the parent cell simply divides to form two daughter cells that are identical to the parent. Sexual reproduction produces a similar, but genetically unique offspring. This type of reproduction uses meiosis to produce haploid gametes which fuse during fertilization to produce a diploid zygote

CAMMY:

Organisms that reproduce through asexual reproduction tend to grow exponentially and rely on mutations for DNA variation, whereas those that reproduce sexually produce a smaller number of offspring, but have larger genetic variation.
