Question

Do all living things reproduce sexually?

Answer 1

Reproduction:

1. It is the biological process, which results in the formation of offspring that are identical to their parents.
2. There are two modes of reproduction found in living species, that is, the asexual and sexual modes of reproduction.
3. A mode of reproduction in which a new offspring is generated by a single parent is asexual reproduction.
4. The process in which sperm from the male parent fertilizes an egg from the female parent generating an offspring, which is genetically distinct from both the parents is sexual reproduction.
5. Not all living organisms reproduce sexually, there are some living organisms, which also reproduce asexually.
6. Sexual reproduction takes place in humans, animals, insects, birds, higher plants, and reptiles. On the other hand, asexual reproduction takes place in lower invertebrates, plants with simple organizations, etc.
7. Some of the kinds of asexual reproduction are budding in hydra, binary fission in bacteria, and vegetative reproduction in plants.
