Big Ideas
- The method of reproduction in plants and animals has a significant impact on the genetic diversity and long-term changes in populations.
- Understanding differences between asexual and sexual reproduction illuminates why and how populations of living organisms change over time.
Essential Questions
- How do asexual and sexual reproduction differ in plants and animals?
- In what ways does the type of reproduction affect the diversity of offspring?
- What are the advantages and disadvantages of asexual versus sexual reproduction for plant and animal populations?
- How does the method of reproduction influence changes in a population over time?
- Why is genetic diversity important for the survival and evolution of species?
