Types of Reproduction in Organisms

Explore the difference between asexual and sexual reproduction in organisms with this middle school science worksheet! In this two-page life science worksheet, students learn that offspring produced by sexual reproduction inherit genes from two sources, while offspring produced by asexual reproduction inherit genes from only one parent. Then, students have a chance to check their understanding using real-world examples. Young scientists will read brief descriptions of the reproductive strategies of a variety of organisms and decide whether the organisms reproduce sexually, asexually, or both, explaining their reasoning in each scenario.
