Last Science Solutions post!! See you in August!
Sexual and asexual reproductions have their similarities and differences. The Venn diagram at the bottom of this post shows how.
There are very few organisms that reproduce asexually. The main ones are bacteria and cells. Asexual reproduction is when only one parent is needed and an exact copy of the parent is made.
There are more organisms that reproduce sexually. Even plants! It's kind of disturbing to watch - scratch that; VERY disturbing!!!But, we need the species to live on. I can't think of any animals that reproduce asexually. Think about it, wouldn't be weird if you were walking along and you saw a cat making a copy of itself? I would be traumatized!! Just the thought scares me....that will haunt me now....
Animals, plants, humans and many other things reproduce sexually. In order to make this happen, a male must deliver sperm into the female and the sperm and egg must meet for fertilization to take place. Female animals don't have their period every month like humans do. Some animals give birth to more than one baby at a time. This happens in humans too, but is is less likely. The American Alligator reproduces sexually (see Zoo Project for more information).
