Reproduction
Biology chapter 13
,13.1 Asexual reproduction
• Involves 1 parent
• Cell divides by mitosis
• Creates clones
• Common in smallest animals and plants, fugi, bacteria
• But cells of our body also reproduce asexually to repair tissue
, 13.1 Sexual reproduction
Involves two gametes (male sex cell, female sex cell)
Fusion forms a zygote
GAMETES are FORMED from meiosis
Chromosome number from original cell has halved
So, when fused to new cell has the right number of
chromosomes
Non identical offspring
In plants gametes are egg cells and pollen
