biological process producing offspring that are biologically or genetically similar to the parents
reproduction
process that ensures the survival of species
reproduction
combination of a sperm and egg
fertilization
sexual reproduction starts with
fertilization
types of fertilization
internal and external fertilization

internal fertilization
fertilization outside the female body
external fertilization
usually occurs in aquatic environments where both eggs and sperm are release into the water

oviparous
producing young by means of eggs which are hatched within the body of the parent
ovoviviparous
bringing forth live young that have developed inside the body of the parent
viviparous
examples of oviparous
birds, ducks, fish
examples of ovoviviparous
sharks, snacks
examples of viviparous
dog, cat
mode of reproduction in which a new offspring is produced by a single parent
asexual reproduction
methods of asexual reproduction
budding, fission, fragmentation and regeneration, parthenogenesis
occurs when individuals arise through out the outgrowths from a parent. this can create a colony of individuals attached to a parent
budding
