    Study Notes

    Reproduction Forms

    • Two forms of reproduction: sexual and asexual reproduction

    Biologists' Puzzle

    • Biologists are puzzled by the existence and maintenance of sexual reproduction in nature

    Two-Fold Cost

    • The two-fold cost of sexual reproduction:
      • The cost of producing males (instead of producing only females that can reproduce)
      • The cost of genetic recombination (reducing the chances of passing on beneficial traits)

    Meiosis and Sexual Reproduction

    • Meiosis creates haploid gametes (sperm and egg cells) required for sexual reproduction

    Asexual Reproduction Method

    • Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction mentioned in the text
