AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Reproduction (or procreation or breeding) is the biological process by which new individual organisms – “offspring” – are produced from their “parent” or parents. Reproduction is a fundamental feature of all known life; each individual organism exists as the result of reproduction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Reproduction is the production of offspring. There are two main forms: sexual and asexual reproduction. In sexual reproduction, an organism combines the genetic information from each of its parents and is genetically unique. In asexual reproduction, one parent copies itself to form a genetically identical offspring.

Detailed explanation-3: -Offspring. New organism that results from reproduction. Gamete.

Detailed explanation-4: -Parents generate reproductive cells called gametes, which combine to form offspring in sexual reproduction. Fertilization is the process of two gametes joining together. The fertilized cell that results from this process is called a zygote.
