Venn Diagram: Asexual Reproduction Sexual Reproduction

Analysis Questions 1 – from the article Classify each of the following as either sexual or asexual reproduction. Explain each answer. An orange cat is mated with a black cat, in hopes of producing a black and orange cat. A cutting is taken from a red-flowered daisy and placed in water to develop roots. Once roots have grown, the new plant is placed in soil and grows to produce another red-flowered daisy. A red-flowered daisy with dull leaves is bred with a white flowered daisy with shiny leaves, with a goal of producing a red-flowered daisy with shiny leaves. A male fish releases sperm cells into the water. One of the sperm cells unites with an egg from a female fish to form a new cell that grows into a new fish. A small worm that lives in water splits in two and each half grows to normal size. The head end grows a tail, and the tail end grows a head.

Analysis Questions 2 What is the difference between sexual and asexual reproduction? Do all multi-cellular organisms perform sexual reproduction? Give evidence. How is asexual reproduction and mitosis similar?

Summary What did you think about how organisms reproduce? What did you learn from your evidence about how organisms reproduce? What are some further thoughts or questions you have about how organisms reproduce?

Reflection If you were given an opportunity to clone yourself, would you do it? Explain

Big Idea Asexual reproduction is when offspring are created from one parent, and are identical to that parent. Marfans and other genetic diseases can only be passed on through our DNA, or inherited.
