| Animals that reproduce sexually & internally | Mammals |
| Animals that reproduce sexually and externally | Reptiles and fish |
| Advantages of Asexual Reproduction | Takes less time and less energy, able to produce a lot in a short amount of time. |
| Disadvantages of Asexual Reproduction | No genetic variation, less able to adapt |
| Advantages of Sexual Reproduction | More variation and genetic diversity, more able to adapt |
| Disadvantages of Sexual Reproduction | Takes more time and energy |

| Process used for reproductive cells (gamates) | Meiosis |
| Process that produces 2 daughter cells | Mitosis |
| Process that produces 4 daughter cells | Meiosis |
| Process that contains all chromosome pairs. In humans is it 46. | Mitosis |
| Process that contains half of the chromosome pairs. In humans it is 23 | Meiosis |
