Reproduction

Reproduction is the process of producing offspring. Reproduction often involves two parents, but some species can reproduce using only one parent.

Asexual Reproduction

In asexual reproduction, the single parent copies its genetic material and transfers it to the offspring. The offspring is genetically identical to the parent.

Sexual reproduction

A type of reproduction that involves a complex life cycle in which a gamete (such as a sperm or egg cell) with a single set of chromosomes combines with another to produce an organism composed of cells with two sets of chromosomes.
