Lesson 3:
Comparing Sexual from
Asexual Reproduction
Comparing Sexual from Asexual
Reproduction
CONTENT
Fertilization occurs when
a male reproductive cell
fuses with a female
reproductive cell.
LEARNING
STANDARD
Explain that genetic information is
passed on to offspring from both
parents by
the process of meiosis and fertilization;
LEARNING
COMPETENCY
By the end of the lesson, the 80 percent of
the learners will be able to:
1. Compare asexual and sexual reproductions.
2. Classify organisms according to the type of reproduction
they exhibit.
3. Appreciate the asexual and sexual reproductions by
using Venn diagram.

ASEXUAL
REPRODUCTION
GAMETES
CLONING
The process of creating a new organism
from a single parent without the
involvement of another parent.
The reproductive cells (sperm and eggs)
involved in sexual reproduction.
The process of creating genetically
identical copies of an organism through
asexual reproduction.
SEXUAL
REPRODUCTION
The process of creating a new organism by
combining genetic material from two individuals.
Information Asexual
Reproduction
Sexual Reproduction
Number of
organisms
involved
One parent only Two parents are
required to mate
Cell division
Cells divide by mitosis
or fission, budding, or
regeneration
Cells divide by Meiosis
Comparison between Sexual and Asexual Reproduction
Advantages
Time Efficient;
no need to
search for
mate, requires
less energy
Variation,
Unique., an
organism is
more protected
Disadvantages
No variation - if the
parent has a genetic
disease, the offspring
does too.
Requires two organisms,
requires more energy
Evolution
There is very little chance
of variation with asexual
reproduction.
Sexual reproduction leads
to genetic variation in new
generations of offspring.
This is fundamental to
evolution.
Involvement of
sex cells
No formation or fusion of
gametes (sex cells)
Formation and fusion of
gametes (sex cells) occurs
Found in
Lower organisms Higher invertebrates
and all
vertebrates
Invertebrates
Unit of
reproduction
May be the whole parent
body, a bud, a fragment,
or a single somatic cell
Gamete
Time taken
Asexual reproduction
is completed in a
very short period of time.
Sexual reproduction can
take several months to
complete.
Number of Two or more One or more
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding
ď‚§ While some bacteria live for a
few minutes, some animals for
half a century and some plants
for hundreds or thousands of
years, organisms do not live
forever.
ď‚§ Without the process of
reproduction life would come to
an end. It is one of the most
important and fundamental
processes of living organisms.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding
Organisms reproduce either asexually or sexually. Sexual reproduction
occurs when a new individual is formed by the union of two sex cells,
or gametes. Hence, the offspring is unique or not identical to the
parents or siblings.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding
Asexual reproduction occurs when only one parent is involved
in making a new creature. Since there is only one parent, all
the traits of the mom or dad are passed on to the baby. As a
result, the parent and child are identical.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding
Organisms reproduce in order to survive. To reproduce
means to “make a new life.” Reproduction sustains the
species so that it does not become extinct.
