Some organisms reproduce sexually while other organisms reproduce asexually. Which would be an example of asexual reproduction?
Reproduction is a vital process by which an organism produces offspring, crucial for the survival of species. It is divided into two major types, asexual and sexual reproduction.
In sexual reproduction two parents, a female and male synthesize gametes, egg, and sperm respectively, having half the number of chromosomes present in a normal cell that undergoes fertilization to form a zygote. The zygote develops into an embryo and finally forms the baby. The offspring exhibits genetic variation from the parents.
In asexual reproduction, a single parent forms offspring that are genetically similar to the parent. are identical to the parents they exhibit no genetic variation. Asexual reproduction is divided into binary fission, budding, fragmentation, and parthenogenesis.
