Meiosis, sexual and asexual reproduction GapFill

Reproduction is the process by which biological organisms produce new organisms. This process ensures that the genetic content of the organisms is passed on between many generations. The process of reproduction can be either  sexualgeneticchromosomalgametic or asexual, which describes the way in which the new organisms are produced. Asexual reproduction produces cells by a process known as  meiosistranslationmitosistranscription, with  nofour times the normalsimilaridentical genetic content. Conversely, in  gameticgeneticsexualchromosomal reproduction, sex cells, or gametes, are produced by a process known as  translationmeiosismitosisprotein synthesis. This process produces four cells with  differentfour times the normalmore stablesimilar genetic content. Animals tend to reproduce  transcriptionallysexuallyrecessivelyasexually using cells known as  semenoestrogentestosteronesperm and eggs, which combines the genetic material from both parents.

In the process of  reproductionselectionmeiosisbreeding, by which sex cells are produced, the number of chromosomes is  halvedquarteredunchangeddoubled, allowing a normal number of chromosomes to be restored by fertilisation. After fertilisation, the cells no longer divide by this method, and instead divide by  mitosisexocytosisactive transportgrowth.
