Q

What are the 2 types of reproduction?

A

Asexual and sexual

29
Q

What are the two things about asexual reproduction?

A
  • 1 cell splitting into 2 cells

- not 2 cells forming 1 cell

30
Q

What are two examples of asexual reproduction?

A

1) Binary Fission (Mitosis)

31
Q

What is the different between binary fission and budding with asexual reproduction?

A

The cells do not divide evenly in budding like they do for binary fission

32
Q

What is the definition of sexual reproduction and what does it mean?

A

-fission of specialized cells

means, the coming together of sperm and egg cells
