Reproduction biology
Reproduction biology studies the biological process of reproduction and the generation of new offspring produced from parent(s). Reproduction can occur in sexual or asexual forms. During sexual reproduction, an organism combines genetic information from two parents to generate a unique individual with DNA from each parent. Asexual reproduction occurs when one parent copies its genetic information generating an identical offspring.
