What is Asexual Reproduction? Two types.

A

Asexual reproduction doesn’t involve gametes or # of hormones. It inherits the genes of that parent.

Two types: Binary Fission and Mitosis
The process of binary fission is when an organism duplicates its genetic material or DNA into two parts in which each organism has a copy of the DNA.
The process of Mitosis is when the cell and nucleus divide into two cells and each cell has its own nucleus.
