sexual reproduction
involves the joining of male and female gametes (sex cells) which each contain genetic information from the mother and father
gametes
formed by meiosis, non identical, haploid cells with 23 chromosomes in humans which fuse in fertilization. creates variation in offspring.
asexual reproduction
involves one parent with no gamete fusion, happens by mitosis, and there is no mixing of genetic information so the offspring is an exact copy.
meiosis
cells in the reproductive organs divide by meiosis to form gametes
