Flashcards

Reproduction

A characteristic feature of all living organisms, ensuring the continuation of species through the creation of new individuals.

Asexual Reproduction

A type of reproduction that involves a single parent and does not require the fusion of gametes, resulting in genetically identical offspring.

Sexual Reproduction

A type of reproduction involving the fusion of male and female gametes (sex cells) to form a zygote, leading to genetically diverse offspring.

Binary Fission

A form of asexual reproduction in which a cell divides into two equal halves.
