Sexual reproduction
Boardworks GCSE Science: Biology
Cloning
There are two main ways by which organisms can reproduce: sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction.
In sexual reproduction, male and female gametes join. This means genes from two parent organisms are combined to produce an organism with a unique genetic code.
The advantage of sexual reproduction is that it produces natural variation among a species, enabling it to adapt to environmental change.
Most animals and many plants reproduce sexually. 5

6. Boardworks GCSE Science: Biology
Asexual reproduction
Boardworks GCSE Science: Biology
Cloning
In asexual reproduction, a single organism makes a copy of itself with exactly the same genetic code. There is no fusing of gametes or mixing of genetic information, and so no variation occurs.
The new organism is a clone of the original.
Organisms that reproduce asexually include:
many plants, such as spider plants, strawberries and potatoes, produce bulbs or runners for asexual reproduction
micro-organisms, such as bacteria and yeast
some insects, such as aphids. 6

9. Plant cross pollination by insects or wind.
Budding yeast.
This is a saxifrage plant. It makes lots of little plantlets that will grow into new plants.
This is an amoeba which reproduces by dividing into two.
These are potato tubers. They will grow into new plants.
The drawing shows a spider plant. Daughter plants grow on stalks. The daughter plants can be planted and they will grow into new spider plants.
