telophase (the final stage of meiosis when the chromosomes move toward opposite ends of the nuclear spindle) Domain category: genetic science; genetics (the branch of biology that studies heredity and variation in organisms) Hyponyms (each of the following is a kind of meiosis): nondisjunction (meiosis in which there is a failure of paired homologous chromosomes to separate; results in an abnormal number of chromosomes in the daughter cells)
Asexual vs. Sexual Reproduction. While asexual reproduction only involves one organism, sexual reproduction requires both a male and a female. Some plants and unicellular organisms reproduce asexually. Most mammals and fish use sexual reproduction. Some organisms like corals and komodo dragons can reproduce either sexually or asexually.
Sexual reproduction is a way of reproduction of some animals and plants. Some protists and fungi also reproduce this way. Organisms that reproduce sexually have two different sexes: male and female. Offspring is made by a cell from the male and a cell of the female.
