Key Stage 2
Meaning
Reproduction is when a living creature makes new living creatures.
About Reproduction
- Reproduction can be sexual where there are two parents and the offspring have some features of each parent.
- Reproduction can be asexual where there is only one parent and the offspring are identical to the parent.
Key Stage 3
Meaning
Reproduction is when an organism creates offspring.
About Reproduction
- Reproduction can be sexual where there are two parents and the offspring inherit some features of each parent.
- Reproduction can be asexual where there is only one parent and the offspring are clones of the parent.
Key Stage 4
Meaning
Reproduction is the process in which an organism copies its DNA to produce a new organism.
About Reproduction
- Reproduction can be sexual in which two parents each produce a gamete (which is a haploid cell) which fuse together in fertilisation to produce an offspring that is genetically different from both parents inheriting some features of each parent.
- Reproduction can be asexual in which one parent organism produces offspring which are genetically identical to the parent and each other.
