asexul and sexual reproduction

• In animals, the male gamete is called spermatozoa
• Sexual reproduction involves two parents (male and female) producing offspring that are genetically different from both parents.
• Asexual reproduction allows for rapid population growth.
• The female gamete is an ovum or egg cell
• The process of fertilization occurs when a sperm cell fuses with an egg to form a zygote.
• The advantages of asexual reproduction include faster production of new individuals, no need to find mates or compete with others for resources, and less genetic variation within populations.
• Advantages of sexual reproduction include greater genetic variability, which can lead to more diverse traits and better adaptation to environmental changes.
• Disadvantages of sexual reproduction include the time-consuming nature of finding a mate and competing for resources, as well as the potential for genetic diseases and mutations.
• Advantages of sexual reproduction include greater genetic variability leading to more diverse traits, better adaptation to environmental changes through natural selection, and higher chances of survival during harsh conditions as some members may have beneficial mutations.
