    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.
