Reproduction 101

The two types of reproduction are asexual and sexual. Asexual reproduction involves only one parent and the offspring are identical to the parent, while sexual reproduction involves two parents and the offspring are genetically diverse.

The different methods of asexual reproduction include fission, budding, vegetative propagation, regeneration, and spore formation.

Gametogenesis is the formation of gametes. It is important in sexual reproduction because gametes are necessary for the fusion of male and female reproductive cells, which leads to the formation of a zygote.
