- exactly copy of parent cell
8
Q
What is sexual reproduction
A
- sex cell do not under go mitosis
- instead they undergo meiosis
- which is another type of cell division that produces 4 cells with 1/2 of the amount of DNA as the original cell
- it creates an new organism
- egg and sperm cell combine form a new cell with the correct amount of DNA

A
Mitosis: growth and repair and identical cell
meiosis: reproduce and different cell
