Sexual and Asexual Reproduction
Reproduction is the process by which living beings produce offspring. There are two types of reproduction: sexual
and asexual. Sexual reproduction involves two parents. Each parent contributes special cells, called sperm and egg,
to create a new organism. This type of reproduction is common in animals, including humans, and plants. The
offspring are different from both parents because they have a mix of traits from each one.
On the other hand, asexual reproduction involves only one parent. The offspring are identical to the parent because
no mixing of cells happens. This type of reproduction is common in organisms like bacteria, fungi, and some plants.
Asexual reproduction is faster and doesn't require a mate, but the offspring are all the same.
