Type of reproduction is a term used to describe the various ways in which organisms reproduce. ASEXUAL reproduction is a type of reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes or the exchange of genetic material. It involves a single organism producing offspring that are genetically identical to itself. Oogamy is a type of sexual reproduction in which one gamete is larger than the other. It involves the fusion of two gametes, usually an egg and a sperm, to form a zygote.
