Question 1
Which statement is correct?
Question 2
Why must gametes be haploid?

Comparing Types
Sexual involves the joining (fusion) of male and female gametes.
Asexual involves only one parent and no fusion of gametes; offspring are clones.
Sexual reproduction leads to variation; asexual reproduction does not.
Exam Tip
Strawberries and spider plants can reproduce both sexually (seeds) and asexually (runners).
