Study Notes

Reproduction in Living Organisms

Reproduction is a fundamental characteristic of all living organisms.
Reproduction can occur asexually in unicellular organisms or sexually in multicellular organisms.
Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of two gametes (sex cells) to form a zygote.
The zygote is a fertilized egg cell that develops into a new organism.

Cell Division

All cells originate from pre-existing cells through a process known as cell division.
In prokaryotes, cell division occurs through binary fission, a simple process where the cell replicates its DNA and divides into two identical daughter cells.
Eukaryotic cell division is more complex and occurs in two distinct phases: interphase and the mitotic phase.
