Reproduction
,Asexual reproduction
• The process resulting in the production of genetically identical
offspring from one parent
• Natural asexual reproduction in plants:
• A part of the plant that grows e.g. runners, bulbs
• Artificial asexual reproduction in plants:
• Cuttings taken and replanted
, Sexual reproduction
• Uses meiosis
• Requires gametes
• Gamete = sex cell involved in meiosis
• Genetically different offspring
• Fertilisation = a sperm and egg fuse together to make an offspring
