Types of Reproduction:

There are two types of reproduction such as:

Asexual Reproduction:

It is the production an offspring by a single parent beyond the formation and fusion of gametes. The young one obtains all its genes from one parent, so are identical.

Sexual Reproduction:

Sexual reproduction is mostly biparental, includes the formation of meiosis gamete usually fertilization also, instigates genetic variation in the offspring, and plays a role in the evolution of species, found in higher plants and animals.
