Study Notes
Asexual Reproduction
- Asexual reproduction involves the production of offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.
- In asexual reproduction, bacteria produce exact genetic copies of themselves through a process called binary fission.
- Plants reproduce asexually using vegetative propagation, where new plants grow from bulbs, tubers, or other parts of the parent plant.
- The main difference between asexual and sexual reproduction is that asexual reproduction does not involve genetic recombination or the mixing of genetic information from two parents.
- Asexual reproduction does not involve meiosis or the production of gametes (sperm or egg cells).
