`color{blue} ul(mathtt ("Asexual Reproduction"))` : When offspring is produced by a single parent with or without the involvement of gamete formation, the reproduction is asexual.
`color{blue} ul(mathtt ("Sexual Reproduction"))` : When two parents (opposite sex) participate in the reproductive process and also involve fusion of male and female gametes( which contain half the number of chromosomes of normal cells and are created by meiosis) , it is called sexual reproduction.
`color{green} ✍️ color{green} mathbf("KEY CONCEPT")`
● There is a large diversity in the biological world leading to each organism evolving its own mechanism to multiply and produce offspring.
● The organism’s `color{Violet}"habitat"`, its `color{Violet}"internal physiology"` and several other factors are collectively responsible for how it reproduces.
● Based on whether there is participation of one organism or two in the process of reproduction, it is of `color{Violet}"two types"`.
● When offspring is produced by a single parent with or without the involvement of gamete formation, the reproduction is `color{Violet}"asexual"`.
● By asexual reproduction, an organism creates a `color{Violet}"genetically similar"` or identical copy of itself.
● When two parents (`color{Violet}"opposite sex"`) participate in the reproductive process and also involve fusion of `color{Violet}"male and female gametes"` (which contain half the number of chromosomes of normal cells and are created by meiosis) , it is called `color{Violet}"sexual reproduction"`.
● Sexual Reproduction produces offspring whose genetic characteristics are derived from those of the two parental organisms and show `color{Violet}"genetic and phenotypic variation"` from their parents.
