GCSE Biology - Sexual vs Asexual Reproduction - What is Asexual Reproduction? #71

The video tutorial explains the two main types of reproduction: sexual and asexual. Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes, resulting in genetic variation among offspring. This process is common in animals and some plants. Asexual reproduction, on the other hand, involves a single parent and produces genetically identical offspring, commonly seen in bacteria and some plants and fungi. The video also touches on the processes of meiosis and mitosis, which are crucial for these reproductive methods.
