2. Reproduction
• Is the production of a new generation
of individuals of the same species
• Involves the transmission of
genetic material from one
generation to the next, ensuring
that the species survives over long
periods of time,even though
individual members die
4. AsexualReproduction
is reproduction by a single
organism with out production of
gametes
usually results in the production of
genetically identical offspring
How can variation occur in
asexual reproduction?
6. What are identical offspring from a
single parent referred to as?
A clone
7. Cloning
in biology is the process of
producing similar populations
of genetically identical
individuals that occurs in nature
when organisms such as
bacteria, insects or plants
reproduce asexually.
8. Cloning
in biotechnology refers to processes
used to create copies of DNA
fragments (molecular cloning), cells
(cell cloning), or organisms. The
term also refers to the production
of multiple copies of a product such
as digital media or software.
9. Most animals species do
not naturally reproduce
asexually
There are several types
of asexual reproduction
