Transmit the genes from one generation to the next. Types of reproduction: aesexual reproduction by species, single parent produced an offspring. Multicellular organisms piece will bud off or fragment (varies: offspring are a result of mitotic division. One diploid (2n) parents produce diploid offspring. One haploid (n) parent produce haploid offspring. All daughter cells are genetically identical and copies of parents: clones are being produced, all copies of the genes are going to be passed to the offspring, advantages gametes. No time or energy spent on finding a mate. Occurs in organisms that are well adapted to their environment.
