4.6.1.1 Sexual and Asexual Reproduction — AQA Combined Science Trilogy 8464

Compare the outcomes of cellular division, noting that meiosis produces non-identical cells while mitosis produces identical cells.
Describe sexual reproduction as the fusion of male and female gametes (sperm and egg in animals, pollen and egg in plants).
Explain how the mixing of genetic information during sexual reproduction leads to variation in offspring.
Describe asexual reproduction as a process involving a single parent with no gamete fusion, resulting in genetically identical clones through mitosis.
