Dapsone, also known as diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS), is an antibiotic commonly used in combination with rifampicin and clofazimine for the treatment of leprosy. It is a second-line medication for the treatment and prevention of pneumocystis pneumonia and for the prevention of toxoplasmosis in those who have poor immune function.
Unlike sexual reproduction, which requires genetic material from two parent organisms in order to create an offspring, asexual reproduction occurs when a single organism reproduces without the genetic input of another. Because of this, a single individual organism is able to produce a nearly exact copy of itself.
Gamete Fusion. The third way that sexual reproduction provides greater genetic diversity than asexual reproduction is through the process of fertilization, or gamete fusion. Gametes contain only half the amount of DNA of a normal cell, so two gametes must fuse to form a new cell that will develop into a new organism.o in order to form a new organism, two gametes -- the sex cells, sperm and egg -- must fuse, further mixing the genes to produce more genetic diversity. Asexual reproduction is one organism dividing into two organisms without shuffling its genes, so the offspring has the same version of genes as did the parent.
