2. Asexual reproduction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexual_reproduction

   Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes or change in the number of chromosomes. The offspring that arise by asexual reproduction from either unicellular or multicellular organisms inherit the full set of genes of their single parent and thus the newly created individual is genetically and ...

3. Plant reproduction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_reproduction

   Asexual reproduction in plants occurs in two fundamental forms, vegetative reproduction and agamospermy. [1] Vegetative reproduction involves a vegetative piece of the original plant producing new individuals by budding, tillering , etc. and is distinguished from apomixis , which is a replacement of sexual reproduction, and in some cases ...

4. Offspring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offspring

   In biology, offspring are the young creation of living organisms, produced either by sexual or asexual reproduction. Collective offspring may be known as a brood or progeny. This can refer to a set of simultaneous offspring, such as the chicks hatched from one clutch of eggs, or to all offspring produced over time, as with the honeybee.

5. Heredity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heredity

   Heredity, also called inheritance or biological inheritance, is the passing on of traits from parents to their offspring; either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction, the offspring cells or organisms acquire the genetic information of their parents.

6. Androgenesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androgenesis

   Androgenesis is a system of asexual reproduction that requires the presence of eggs and occurs when a zygote is produced with only paternal nuclear genes.During standard sexual reproduction, one female parent and one male parent each produce haploid gametes (such as a sperm or egg cell, each containing only a single set of chromosomes), which recombine to create offspring with genetic material ...

7. Acyrthosiphon pisum - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acyrthosiphon_pisum

   Asexual reproduction - Pea aphid lineages include parthenogenesis in their life cycles, and some have even lost the sexual phase. Pea aphids are models for deciphering the origin and consequences of asexual reproduction, [ 17 ] [ 18 ] an important question in evolutionary biology .

8. Parthenogenesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenogenesis

   A form of asexual reproduction related to parthenogenesis is gynogenesis. Here, offspring are produced by the same mechanism as in parthenogenesis, but with the requirement that the egg merely be stimulated by the presence of sperm in order to develop. However, the sperm cell does not contribute any genetic material to the offspring.

9. Paratomy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paratomy

   Paratomy is a form of asexual reproduction in animals where the organism splits in a plane perpendicular to the antero-posterior axis and the split is preceded by the "pregeneration" of the anterior structures in the posterior portion. The developing organisms have their body axis aligned, i.e., they develop in a head to tail fashion.
