This process, known as asexual reproduction, allows these creatures to produce offspring that are genetically identical to themselves.

In collaboration with colleagues from international partner institutions, researchers at the University of Cologne have investigated the asexual reproduction of oribatid mites using genome ...

The patches of lichen you've probably seen growing on tree trunks and park benches might be easy to overlook, but they're actually some of the world's strangest living things. While they're sometimes ...

Asexual reproduction is a process by which offspring are produced from a single parent, inheriting the parent’s genetic material. This method does not involve the fusion of gametes, and the offspring ...

Several different reproduction methods are compared. From the results, the asexual reproduction methods require less generations to reach the optimal solution than gamogenesis.

One such animal should be the clonal raider ant, which produces daughter after genetically identical daughter directly from an unfertilized ovum through parthenogenesis, a method of asexual ...

Genetic diversity is essential to the survival of a species. It's easy enough to maintain if a species reproduces sexually; an egg and a sperm combine genetic material from two creatures into one ...

Bulbil is an important asexual reproductive structure of bulbil plants. It mainly grows in leaf axils, leaf forks, tubers and the upper and near ground ends of flower stems of plants. They play a ...

Different, not broken: Asexual people still reckon with erasure from their doctors Asexuality was historically seen as a disorder to be cured. The community is still fighting for recognition ...

When combined with conventional sexual reproduction methods and modern molecular biotechnology, asexual reproduction provides an optimal method for elucidating the entire process of cell ...
