Asexual reproduction allows organisms to produce offspring that are genetically identical to the parent without the involvement of two parents. Some methods of asexual reproduction include binary fission in bacteria where the cell copies its DNA and divides, budding where new cells form off the parent cell, and fragmentation where organisms like sea anemones or worms can split into pieces to form new individuals. Asexual reproduction results in genetically identical offspring while sexual reproduction combines genes from two parents to create genetically unique offspring.

Asexual Reproduction

When an organism reproduces it makes another organism of the same _________.


Some organisms reproduce ________. Cows make more cows and pigs make more pigs.
Sexual reproduction combines genes from a mother and a father, making a genetically
_________ organism.

Other organisms reproduce asexually. In asexual reproduction, all the genes come from
a ________ parent. Asexually produced offspring are genetically __________ to the
parent.

There are many methods1 of asexual reproduction. In some one-celled organisms,


_________________ is a method of asexual reproduction. Bacteria cells reproduce
through cell division. The cell makes a copy of its _____ then sends the copy into a new

minutes.

Another method of asexual reproduction is budding. Unicellular yeast cells grow new
cells off of the ______ of another. When the cell is developed it falls off and a new
________ cell is produced.

Some organisms produce offspring by splitting into pieces. A sea anemone can split
down the middle resulting in the production of another individual _________ to the
original. Some worms if split will continue to live as ______ identical worms.

Both sexual and asexual reproduction produce __________. However, asexual


reproduction makes genetically ___________ offspring and sexual reproduction makes
__________ offspring.
