Study Notes
Reproduction
- There are two forms of reproduction: asexual and sexual.
- Asexual reproduction results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.
- The two-fold cost of sexual reproduction is the loss of genetic material and the risk of disease transmission.
- Biological reproduction is the process by which new individual organisms are produced from their parent or parents.
- Specialized reproductive cells required for sexual reproduction are called gametes.
