Answer 1

shorter

Answer 2

Asexual reproduction is a process where a single organism can produce offspring without the need for a partner. Three key features of asexual reproduction are that it typically involves only one parent, the offspring are genetically identical to the parent (clones), and it usually occurs quickly since it doesn't require mating. Common examples include budding in hydras and binary fission in bacteria.

On the other hand, sexual reproduction involves two parents who contribute genetic material to create offspring. Three important features of sexual reproduction are that it combines genetic information from both parents, which leads to greater genetic diversity among the offspring, it usually takes more time and energy because it requires finding a mate, and it often involves complex mating behaviors or rituals to attract partners. Examples include the reproduction of animals, like mammals, as well as flowering plants.

Answer 3

Asexual reproduction involves a single parent producing offspring that are genetically identical to itself. Three features of asexual reproduction are that it requires only one parent, it occurs quickly, and the offspring are clones of the parent.

In contrast, sexual reproduction involves two parents, leading to offspring with a mix of genetic material. Three features of sexual reproduction are that it involves two parents, it creates genetic diversity among the offspring, and it usually takes more time and energy due to the need to find a mate.
