    • Sexual reproduction is when genetic information is passed down from parents to offspring by gametes
      Each gamete contains 23 chromosomes, instead of having 2 of each chromosome, a gamete has one of each
      The egg and sperm fuse together (fertilisation)
      Sexual reproduction produces genetically different cells
    • Asexual reproduction produces genetically identical cells
      Theres only one parent, asexual reproduction happens by mitosis - when the cell makes a new cell by dividing into 2
      The new cells have the exact same genetic info
