Study Notes

Forms of Reproduction

  • Two main forms of reproduction are sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction.
  • Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes, while asexual reproduction does not.

Disadvantage of Sexual Reproduction

  • A primary disadvantage of sexual reproduction is that it typically requires more time and energy to find a mate and produce offspring.

Specialized Reproductive Cells

  • The specialized reproductive cells involved in sexual reproduction are called gametes.
  • Male gametes are known as sperm, and female gametes are known as eggs.

Cloning Process

  • The process that leads to the creation of genetically similar or identical copies of an organism is called cloning.
  • Cloning can occur naturally, as in the case of identical twins, or artificially through scientific methods.

Nature of Cloning

  • The cloning of an organism is considered a form of asexual reproduction.
  • This process results in offspring that are genetic replicas of the original organism.
