1. _________reproduction is a means of creating new individuals solely by________ the form of cell division that creates genetically identical daughter cells.2. _________reproduction, in contrast, generates genetically unique offspring.3. To accomplish this, an organism must produce _________ --sperm and egg -- through the process of ________.4. The cells produced this way will be_______ meaning that they contain a single set of chromosomes.5. Such cells are produced only in the ________.

Respuesta :

Answer:

1. asexual, mitosis  2. sexual  3. gametes, meiosis  4. haploid 5. sex cells

Explanation:

Asexual reproduction is the form of reproduction that occurs whereby there is no fusion of gametes or a change in the number of chromosomes. The produced daughter cells are genetically similar to the parent. the form of cell division that occurs here is through a process of mitosis.

Different organisms adopt different type of asexual reproduction including binary fission, spore formation, fragmentation etc.

Sexual reproduction in contrast generates genetically unique organism through the fusion of two different organisms sex cells. To accomplish sexual reproduction, gametes that are haploid through a process of meiosis must be produced which are the egg cell and the sperm cells (the sex cells). These haploid cells are produced only in the germ cells to ensure the production of a diploid zygote.
