Compare and contrast asexual and sexual reproduction. Be sure to include at least two similarities and three differences.

Similarities: 1) Both plants and animals are involved. 2) Involves at least 1 parent.

Differences: 1) Sexual involves the formation and fusion of gametes while asexual does not. 2) Asexual often results in rapid production compared to sexual. 3) These two processes differ by the number of cells needed for the reproduction, the type of cell division involved and the genetic structure of the daughter cells.

Prokaryotes and eukaryotes vs. only eukaryotes

Mitosis and binary fission vs. meiosis

Both forms of reproduction

Two vs. four cells produced

Diploid vs. haploid  cells produced

Advantages or disadvantages of each
