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.
