1.2 What are different ways that living things reproduce asexually
- mitosis: the process through which pre-existing cells make two identical copies of themselves
- different forms of asexual reproduction: fission, budding, cloning, spores, grafting

1.3 How do living things sexually reproduce
- Meiosis: the process through which sex cells (eggs and sperm) are formed by the dividing of a parent cell twice, resulting in four daughter cells
- human sexual reproduction: the result of humans having two parents in that offspring are not genetically identical to either parent
