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. 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.

5. 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.

7. 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 ...

8. Biological life cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_life_cycle

   However, these eukaryotes probably are not primitively asexual, but have lost their sexual reproduction, or it just was not observed yet. [27] [28] Many eukaryotes (including animals and plants) exhibit asexual reproduction, which may be facultative or obligate in the life cycle, with sexual reproduction occurring more or less frequently. [29]

9. Cloning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloning

   Asexual reproduction is a naturally occurring phenomenon in many species, including most plants and some insects. Scientists have made some major achievements with cloning, including the asexual reproduction of sheep and cows. There is a lot of ethical debate over whether or not cloning should be used.
