1. Reproduction Notes
Reproduction: A process of passing genetic(DNA) material to offspring(next generation)
Sexual Reproduction-the process where male(sperm) genetic material and female(egg) genetic combine for offspring (next generation)
2 parents
One offspring
Asexual Reproduction- the process where single celled organisms replicate(copy) and divide(splits apart) to make offspring(next generation)
1 parent
Half genetic material
Full genetic material
Full genetic information
Genetic information gets copied
Full genetic information- Daughter cells

2. Asexual Types Binary Fission-dividing in half Budding
Vegetative Propagation

3. Asexual Variation Genetic information is a copy
Offspring have the SAME DNA
Limited variation

4. Sexual Reproduction
Sperm- male component with half genetic information ( Ex: Pollen)
Egg- female component with half genetic information
Zygote- 1 cell with full
genetic information

5. Sexual Variation Combination of male and female
Different from mom and dad
Increases variation every generation
