Asexual Reproduction
Reproduction and development are necessary for the continuation of any species. Asexual reproduction is a method of reproduction with all the genetic information coming from one parent.
Asexual reproduction is sometimes called cloning. Cloning is the production of identical genetic copies. All forms of asexual reproduction are variations of the cell division process of mitosis. Mitosis is associated with asexual reproduction, as well as growth and repair in sexually reproducing organisms.
Mitosis is the method used for cell division and reproduction in cells not involved in sexual reproduction. This process starts with one replication (copying of the chromosome material) and one division of the chromosome material. This results in the chromosome numbers in the two cells produced being the same as in the parent cell.
Mitosis is the process of asexual reproduction. Humans use meosis which is a process of sexual reproduction.
