these questions are similar to those on the test.

1. complete the venn diagram to compare and contrast sexual and asexual reproduction:

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction involves two parents and genetic variation through gamete - formation and fertilization. Asexual reproduction has one parent and produces genetically identical offspring. In the Venn diagram, differences like number of parents, genetic variation can be placed in the non - overlapping parts, and commonalities like reproduction for species survival can be in the overlapping part.

Answer:

In the Sexual Reproduction circle: Two parents, genetic variation due to meiosis and fertilization, gametes involved. In the Asexual Reproduction circle: One parent, offspring genetically identical to parent, no gametes involved. In the overlapping part: Both are methods of reproduction, ensure species survival.
