Reproduction

• Sexual production produces genetically different cells.
• In sexual production, the mother and father produce gametes by meiosis.
• In humans, gametes contain 23 chromosomes - half the number of chromosomes in a normal cell.
• The egg and sperm cell fuse together to form a cell with the full number of chromosomes. (Half from the mother, half from the father.)
• Asexual production produces genetically identical cells.
• In asexual production there's only 1 parent and it happens by mitosis. An ordinary cell makes a new cell by dividing in 2. The new cell is a clone.
