Sea stars (starfish) can reproduce asexually by fragmentation if their arms are cut off, or sexually by releasing sperm and eggs into the water. Which of these is the major difference between asexual and sexual reproduction in sea stars?

Respuesta :

I believe it's sexual reproduction in sea stars if that's the question. 

Answer: Genetic variation in sea stars as a result of the sexual reproduction.

Explanation:

The process of sexual reproduction can be defined as the mating of male sperm and female ovum which results in zygote formation.

The sexual reproduction leads to the genetic variation because of which there is a genetic variation in the star fish.

The variation in the species leads to the stability of the organism in the population.There is no variation seen because of asexual reproduction.
