16. Reproduction (Part 1) (Cambridge IGCSE Biology 0610 for exams in 2023, 2024 and 2025)

Reproduction involves two types: asexual and sexual. Asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring from one parent, while sexual reproduction combines genetic material from two gametes, resulting in genetic diversity. Each method has advantages and disadvantages, affecting adaptability and vulnerability to diseases. Understanding these processes is crucial for biology studies.
