PROBLEM: How can you determine which organism reproduces sexually or asexually?

PREDICTION:

MATERIALS: Asexual/Sexual Reproduction Chart, paper, glue

PROCEDURE:
  1. After reviewing why some organisms will reproduce sexually versus asexually, cut out the organisms.
      
  2. Group the organisms into two categories, those that reproduce sexually and those that reproduce asexually. Glue the two groups on two separate sheets.
      
  3. Determine from your categories what could be characteristic of the different reproductive strategies.

CHARACTERISTICS OF SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
 
 
 
 
 

CHARACTERISTICS OF ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
 
 
 
 
 

CONCLUSION: Can large animals reproduce asexually? Why?

Why don't little organisms reproduce sexually?
