ong>DIFERENCE BETWEEN SEXUAL AND ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION

♥ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION

(1) Occurs in prokaryotic microorganisms and in some eukaryotic unicellular and multicellular organisms, lower invertebrates and plants

(2) It is uniparental.

(3) Gametes are not formed

(4)Somatic cells of parents are INVOLVED.

(5))No fertilization occurs

(6)No involvement of reproductive organs

(7)Only MITOSIS TYPE of cell DIVISION occurs.

(8)The progeny and the parent are genetically identical

(9)Characteristics of only one parent are inherited.

(10)The genes and genetic material are just multiplied and passed on to new organisms from the parent.

♥SEXUAL REPRODUCTIO

(1)Occurs almost in all types of multicellular organisms including humans, ANIMALS, and higher plants

(2)It is usually bi-parental

(3)Gametes are formed

(4)Germ cells of parents are involved

(5)Fertilization takes place

(6) Presence of fully developed reproductive organs

(7)Both meiosis and mitosis type of cell division occurs

(8)The progenies will be genetically different from the parents

(9)Characteristics of both parents are inherited.

(10)The genetic material undergoes intermixing from both parents to form a new set of genetic material
