Reproduction
Reproduction is the biological process by which new individuals of the same species are produced. It ensures the continuation of a species and can occur through sexual or asexual means.
Asexual Reproduction
Asexual reproduction involves a single parent and results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. This can occur through methods such as binary fission, budding, and fragmentation.
Sexual Reproduction
Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes (sperm and egg) to produce genetically diverse offspring. This process involves the formation of specialized cells called gametes and typically requires two parents.
