Human reproduce by sexual reproduction. This is also known as “coitus”, “mating”, “having sex” and “making love”. This happens when the males sperm cells connect with the eggs causing an ebryo to form.

Reproduction - Life-cycle reproduction: Although organisms are often thought of only as adults, and reproduction is considered to be the formation of a new adult resembling the adult of the previous generation, a living organism, in reality, is an organism for its entire life cycle, from fertilized egg to adult, not for just one short part of that cycle.

A unicellular organism is and organism that only has one cell. Plankton is an unicellular organism which means that everything happens in that one cell, including reproduction. Plankton can reproduce sexually and asexually, but asexual reproduction is more often. In order to reproduce, they use cell division which is dividing one cell into two so they can reproduce.

Phytoplankton is the foundation of the marine food web and play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine world. They are important even beyond the marine’s needs. Phytoplankton accounts for almost half of all global primary productivity.

Zygote is the diploid cell that results from the fertilization between an egg and a sperm.
In mammals, the sperm fertilizes the egg (ovum, the female gamete) and the fertilized egg is called a zygote.

Types of Asexual Reproduction in Plants

Asexual reproduction requires only one parent. Since there is only one parent, there is no exchanging of genetic information, and the offspring are clones of the parent. Asexual reproduction in plants can occur in a variety of forms, including budding, vegetative propagation, and fragmentation. Let's discuss these reproduction types.

Have you ever found an old potato hidden in the back of a cabinet in your kitchen? If a potato sits around for a long time, it will have many small growths, commonly referred to as 'eyes'. Each of these sprouts can be cut from the potato and planted. They will grow into a clone of the original plant that produced the potato. This is a classic example of budding.

For an example of vegetative propagation, let's look at the strawberry plant. If you plant strawberries, you will notice that a row of plants will quickly spread into a large mass of plants. This is because they do a type of vegetative propagation by producing runners. Strawberry plants send out horizontal stems known as stolons. These stems will work their way into the ground in places and form roots, and eventually a new plant will grow.

A third type of asexual reproduction in plants is called fragmentation. This type of asexual reproduction is often used by nurseries and greenhouses to produce plants quickly. For many plants, a clone can be created by breaking off a portion of the stem and placing it in soil or water, depending on the plant. This also happens naturally when small parts of a plant fall off onto the soil and begin to grow into a new plant. An example of fragmentation occurs in liverwort plants, whose small stems or leaves are often broken off by animals or wind and then grow into clones of the parent plant when they land in the soil.

Advantages of Asexual Reproduction in Plants

There are many reasons why asexual reproduction can be advantageous for plants. One advantage is speed. Since asexual reproduction does not involve the process of gamete formation, it can be completed much more quickly, allowing the individual to spread its genetic material in a shorter period of time.

The benefits of asexual reproduction is that it only requires one parent. Therefore, there is no need for a DNA exchange and the offspring is a clone of the parent.

A drawback from asexual reproduction within plants is the increase in competition. To explicate, asexual reproduction is very fast, meaning that the parent plant will be competing with a lot of offsprings for the same nutrients, sunlight, and space, which will be hard for plants to live and grow in an environment.

Sexually: it involves the make and female gametes. They make gametes are then transferred to the female ovules (the part of the ovary of seed plants that has a female germ cell which is turned into a seed after fertilization.

Ex: liverworts, hornworts and mosses

Asexually: creates other plants that are genetically identical to the parent plant. Roots such as corms, stem tubers, rhizomes, and stolon are a part of vegetative reproduction. Some plants can produce seeds without fertilization via apomixis (aka asexual reproduction or agamospermy) some forms of asexual reproduction methods are budding, vegetative propagation, and fragmentation.

Programmed cell death or apoptosis is a widespread biological phenomenon. Apoptosis is characterized by typical cell features such as membrane blebbing, chromatin condensation, and DNA fragmentation.Apoptosis is characterized by typical cell features such as membrane blebbing, chromatin condensation, and DNA fragmentation.

Genes that control the body plan of an embryo along the head-tail axis. After the embryonic segments have formed, the Hox proteins determine the type of appendages or the different types of vertebrae that will form on a segment.  For example, Hox genes help lay out the basic body forms.

1. ALGAE: Some algae have holdfasts that attach to the seafloor and anchor them down much like roots of a plant. A trade off about algae is that it may not blend into the ground floor so although it may grip onto the ground floor it, is not completely invisible.
2. AMOEBA: Is cut in two, the half that contains the nucleus can survive and form new cytoplasm. ... When water or food is scarce, some amoebas respond by rolling into a ball and secreting a protective body covering called a cyst membrane.A trade off for Amoeba would be the fact that they can not exist in certain conditions, especially if the conditions of the environment are in quick transition,
3. BACTERIA: The growth of bacteria is determined not only by the composition of their surroundings but also by sudden changes in the living environment. A trade off would be that if their living environment changes they will die off.

1.  The basic processes of life include organization, metabolism, responsiveness, movements, and reproduction. No part of the body works in complete isolation, all parts of the body function together in time consumed balance. The most important thing that the body needs to do is survive, and the body function is basically cell functions.
