Asexual- process by which a single
parent reproduces by itself. Many
animals, especially invertebrates, can
also reproduce asexually. Asexual
reproduction produces offspring that
are genetically identical to the parent.
Sexual reproduction -process by
which two cells from different
parents unite producing the first cell
of a new organism.

ASEXUAL VS. SEXUAL
REPRODUCTION: SURVIVAL AND
VARIATION
Most animals reproduce sexually by
producing haploid gametes.
Sexual reproduction helps create and
maintain genetic diversity in populations;
helps improve species' abilities to cope with
environmental change
Asexual reproduction allows animals to
increase their numbers rapidly; provides
no genetic diversity, a major environmental
change could cause the extinction of the
species
