Reproduction: The biological process by which living organisms produce new individuals of the same species, ensuring the continuation of the species. It can be sexual or asexual.
Asexual Reproduction: A mode of reproduction that involves a single parent, resulting in offspring genetically identical to the parent (cloning). Examples include binary fission, fragmentation, budding, and spore formation.
Sexual Reproduction: Reproduction involving two parent organisms, where gametes (sperm and egg) fuse to form genetically diverse offspring. It promotes genetic variation and evolution.
Growth: An increase in the size and mass of an organism, often associated with cell division and differentiation. In unicellular organisms, growth is primarily through cell division; in multicellular organisms, it involves tissue development.
Regeneration: The process by which organisms replace or restore lost or damaged tissues or organs, often seen in flatworms (e.g., Planaria). It can be true regeneration or limited to tissue repair.
