1. In what ways does an organism’s mode of reproduction impact the diversity of its offspring? (Asexual vs. Sexual)

Asexual reproduction = An exact copy of the reproducer

Sexual reproduction = Genetic variation into the organism if a random mutation in the organism's DNA is transmitted to offspring.

Explanation:

Example of Asexual Reproduction diversity - A red apple has apple seeds. You plant the red apple seeds, and it grows up to be no different than the apple before it.

Sexual reproduction Example of diversity -Two parents are of different ethnicities. The female gets pregnant, but because of the different genetics from both of the parents, the child will inherit their genetics + some random mutation in the DNA.  

This impacts the diversity of the offspring because it can be an exact copy of the reproducer (Asexual), or significantly different with some similarities if the mode of reproduction was sexual.

I really hope this helps you! Please tell me if it did or not. Good luck with your assignment/exam/quiz!

(OMG TYSM FOR BRAINLIEST!! :D)

Sexual reproduction uses two organisms in order to create another organism (reproduce). The organisms' offspring will have different traits than it's parent organisms. For example, if the offspring's female parent organism has green eyes and it's male parent organism has brown eyes, the offspring will have either green or brown eyes. If it has green eyes, the trait is known as the dominate trait while the brown eye trait is known as the recessive trait (or vise versa).

During asexual reproduction an organism, quite literally, splits itself in two. Thus creating a literal clone of itself. There is no difference between the original organism and it's cloned offspring.
