Question
place the correct terms that apply for sexual and asexual reproduction.
somatic (body) cell \tgenetically identical
genetically unique \tgametes
sexual reproduction
two parents
asexual reproduction
one parent
Brief Explanations
To solve this, we recall the characteristics of sexual and asexual reproduction:
- Sexual Reproduction: Involves two parents (gametes from each parent fuse). Offspring are genetically unique (due to genetic recombination in gamete formation and fertilization). Gametes (sperm/egg) are involved.
- Asexual Reproduction: Involves one parent. Offspring are genetically identical to the parent (since it uses somatic cells for reproduction like in binary fission, budding, etc.).
So we match the terms:
- Sexual Reproduction: Two parents, Gametes, Genetically unique.
- Asexual Reproduction: One parent, Somatic (body) cell, Genetically identical.

(To place in the table:
- Pair "Somatic (body) cell" with "Asexual Reproduction" (and "Genetically identical").
- Pair "Gametes" with "Sexual Reproduction" (and "Genetically unique").)
