Study Notes
Reproduction
- The process of generating new generations from existing organisms
- Essential for the continuation of life
Asexual Reproduction
- Involves the use of spores or vegetative parts of a mature organism
- Offspring are genetically identical to the parent
Sexual Reproduction
- Requires the fusion of two gametes, produced by male and female structures
- Offspring inherit a mixture of genetic information from both parents
- More complex organisms have specialized reproductive systems for sexual reproduction
Differences in Sexual and Asexual Reproduction
- Asexual Reproduction requires only one parent and produces genetically identical offspring.
- Sexual Reproduction requires two parents and produces offspring with a combination of genetic material from both parents.
