Study Notes
Reproduction
- There are two forms of reproduction: asexual and sexual reproduction.
Asexual Reproduction
- A type of reproduction that does not involve the genetic contribution of another organism.
- Results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.
Sexual Reproduction
- A type of reproduction that involves the genetic contribution of another organism.
- Involves the creation of gametes with half the number of chromosomes through a process called meiosis.
Evolution of Sexual Reproduction
- The major puzzle for biologists is why sexual reproduction evolved, given the added complexity and energy cost it entails.
