Study Notes

Reproduction

Asexual reproduction involves the production of genetically identical offspring by mitosis, where a single parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells with identical genetic material.
Sexual reproduction, on the other hand, involves the fusion of gametes from two parents to produce offspring with a unique combination of genetic traits.

Cloning

A clone is an organism that is genetically identical to another organism, produced through asexual reproduction.

Chromosomes

Autosomes are non-sex chromosomes, which are chromosomes that are not involved in determining the sex of an organism.
Human somatic cells have 46 chromosomes, arranged in 23 pairs.
