How do Organisms Reproduce? in Science
Updated on November 19, 2025 | By Learnzy Academy
Reproduction is the process by which organisms produce new individuals of the same species.
Types of Reproduction:
1. Asexual Reproduction
- One parent
- No variation
- Fast and simple
- Examples:
- Binary fission – Amoeba
- Budding – Yeast
- Vegetative propagation – Potato
2. Sexual Reproduction
- Two parents (male & female)
- Involves gametes
- Offspring show variation
- Found in humans, animals, and flowering plants
