- sexual reproduction
-
Combining the genetic material or two individual of the same species to produce similar but no identical offspring.
Based on: special types of cell divisions called meiosis to produce gametes
-
Asexual reproduction
-
uses the genetic material of ones individual to produce identical offspring
based on: normal cell division, called mitosis
-
Mitosis
-
process by which a cell reproduces itself to produce two identical daughter cells
-
Meiosis
- process by which a cell reproduces itself to produce four unique daughter cells called gametes
-
diploidy
-
having two of each chromosomes
-
Binary Fission
-
mitosis that produces two identical daughter cells
- Budding
- mitosis producing daughter cells of unequal size, the larger daughter cell continues dividing. Budding helps some organisms increase their population faster than binary fission
- sporulation
-
mitosis producing specialized daughter cells that only grow and divide if conditions are appropiate
- regeneration
- production of new organisms from severed parts of the single parent
-
vegetative propagation
- production of new organisms from leave, stem or roots of the single parent plant
