Sexual reproduction


Asexual reproduction is the formation of new individuals from the cell(s) of a single parent.
It is very common in plants; less so in animals.

Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that results in increasing genetic diversity of the offspring. It is characterized by two processes. The first, meiosis, involves the halving of the number of chromosomes.

Sexual reproduction requires two parents and thus promotes genetic variation.

Sexual reproduction is a biological process by which organisms create descendants through the combination of genetic material. These organisms have two different adult sexes, male and female.

Sexual reproduction occurs only in eukaryotes. During the formation of gametes, the number of chromosomes is reduced by half, and returned to the full amount when the two gametes fuse during fertilization.

sexual reproduction -- A type of reproduction in which two parents give rise to offspring that have unique combinations of genes inherited through the gametes of the two parents. Sexual reproduction involves meiosis and syngamy.
