Heredity is the genetic information passing for traits from parents to their offspring, either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. This is the process by which an offspring cell or organism acquires or becomes predisposed to the characteristics of its parent cell or organism.
Asexual Reproduction : Notes/W.S.-50 Asexual reproduction is reproduction which requires only one parent. Simpler forms of life such as bacteria, amoebas, and yeast cells reproduce asexually. In all types of asexual reproduction, the offspring are exactly like the parent because the offspring have the same DNA as the parent. Two methods of asexual reproduction are fission and budding.
