eukaryoot
a type of reproduction where a single organism can produce offspring without the involvement of another organism
aseksuele voortplanting
a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in the formation of gametes (sperm and egg cells) for sexual reproduction
meiosis
a type of cell division that results in the formation of two daughter cells, each having the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell
