Reproduction

Cards (4)

  • Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes, a process known as fertilization, and results in offspring that are genetically different due to contributions from both parents.
  • Asexual reproduction, on the other hand, takes place with only one parent and doesn't involve any damage, meaning there's no mixing of genetic material and no genetic variation.
  • Eukaryotic organisms such as plants, fungi, and a few animals achieve asexual reproduction through mitosis.
  • Chaotic organisms such as bacteria asexually reproduce by binary fission.
