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.
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.
