Study Notes
Asexual Reproduction
- Asexual reproduction does not involve fusion of gametes (sex cells).
- It creates genetically identical offspring (clones) from a single parent.
- Offspring inherit genes directly from the parent.
- Clones are morphologically and genetically identical.
- Organisms reproduce asexually in various ways.
