Objective: I can explain the difference between sexual and asexual reproduction and
identify organisms that reproduce seuxally, asexually or both.

Use this link or the provided textbook to read pages D-17-D-23, define the key
terms and answer the stopping to think questions.

1. Part 1 -- As you read, define the following words:

SEXUAL REPRODUCTION- Occurs when a tiny sperm cell


produced by a male unites with an egg cell produce by a
female.

ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION- One parent In which thy make


exact copies of themselves.

EGG CELL- Theeggcell,orovum,isthefemalereproductive


cellinoogamousorganisms.Theeggcellistypicallynotcapable
ofactivemovement

SPERM CELL- A tiny cell that is created from a male

FERTILIZATION- union of the sperm and egg cell,

CLONE- is an offspring produced by a asexual reproduction.

MUTATION- Change in genes

NUCLEUS- Center of a cell, most important part and it


contains genes.
2. Part 2: Reading Questions:
STOPPING TO THINK 1
In asexual reproduction of a bacterial cell, is it clear which cell is the parent and which is
the offspring? EXPLAIN.
NO because offspring is an exact replica to the parent

STOPPING TO THINK 2
Your friend tells you, Only single-celled organisms reproduce asexually. After all, how
could a multicellular organism do that? How do you respond to your friend?
Friend is wrong,bunding since the organism grow from parent body.

STOPPING TO THINK 3
Fraternal twins result when two eggs are both fertilized by sperm cells, and both
develop into offspring. (This is very common in dogs and cats.) Why are identical twins
much more similar than fraternal twins? EXPLAIN.

spermcellswhileidenticalarefromthesame,

STOPPING TO THINK 4
How is a clone different from an identical twin?
Well identical one is identical is similar, but a clone is exactly the same.
3. Part 3: Reproduction Chart
Complete the chart below identifying the differences between sexual and asexual
reproduction. The chart has been started for you using the table on page D-21, come up
with at least 2-3 other differences and examples for each type.

Examples of organism that reproduce Examples of organism that reproduce

4. Part 4: ANALYSIS QUESTIONS

1. Classify each of the following as either sexual or asexual


reproduction. Explain each answer.
a. An orange cat is mated with a black cat, in hopes of producing a
tortoiseshell cat.
sexual since there is two parents
b. A cutting is taken from a red-flowered geranium 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 geranium.
asexual, since there is one parent

c. A red-flowered geranium with dull leaves is bred with a whited flowered


geranium with shiny leaves, with a goal of producing a red-flowered
geranium with shiny leaves.

sexual,two parent

d. A male fish releases sperm cell 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.

sexual ,two parents

e. 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.

asexual ,one parent

f. Sheep reproduce only by sexual reproduction in nature. Using modern


technology, a clone of an adult sheep is produced.
asexual ,one parent

2. Reflection: If you were given an opportunity to clone yourself, would you do it?
Please EXPLAIN.

No, because I like the variation between people and its better to have variation.
