Reproduction
It is a biological process by which organisms produce their young ones.
The young ones grow and mature to repeat the process .Thus reproduction results in continuation of species and introduces variations in organisms which are essential for adaptation and evolution of their own kind.
TYPES OF REPRODUCTION
Reproduction can be broadly classified into asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
Reproduction by a single parent without the involvement of gamete formation is asexual reproduction and the offsprings produced are genetically identical.
Asexual reproduction is usually by amitotic or mitotic division of the somatic ( body)cells hence is also known as somatogenic or blastogenic reproduction.
SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
When two parents participate in the reproductive process involving two types of gametes (ova and sperm), it is called sexual reproduction.
There are two types of reproduction
- asexual reproduction
- sexual reproduction
Asexual reproduction: Though asexual reproduction is faster and more energy efficient.
Sexual reproduction: Sexual reproduction better promote genetic diversity through new combination of alleles during meiosis and fertilization.
