Reproduction is the biological process by which new "offspring" individual organisms are produced from their "parents". Reproduction is a fundamental feature of all known life; each individual organism exists as the result of reproduction. The known methods of reproduction are broadly grouped into two main types: sexual and asexual.

In asexual reproduction, an individual can reproduce without involvement with another individual of that species. The division of a bacterial cell into two daughter cells is an example of asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction is not, however, limited to single-celled organisms. Most plants have the ability to reproduce asexually.

Sexual reproduction typically requires the involvement of two individuals or gametes, one each from opposite type of sex.

Where can I buy a reproduction of the Guennol Lioness?
Q. I'm very interested in the sale of the Guennol Lioness and I'd like to buy an inexpensive reproduction. Does anyone know of a museum shop or curio shop that would carry a cheap reproduction?

A. I think the art industry is still reeling from the December 5th Sotheby's auction of this artifact from ancient Mesopotamia for $57.1 million. It was estimated to bring only 18 million. To my knowledge, no one is selling any reproductions, yet! Allow a little more time, and I believe you will start to see some sculptures similar to this beauty come on the market. Be patient. Best wishes!

A. I will try to put this as simply as possible. Mitosis is the process in which a cell divideds into two daugter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the original cell. This is what allows all organisms to grow, or replace dead or dieing cells within the organism. For example we are losing millions of skin cells every day, they simple flake off, mitosis allows living cells to produce more. Meiosis on the other hand is what allows for any type of sexual reproduction. Meiosis is the production of sex cells from a body cell. When meiosis occurs it is exactly the same as mitosis except instead of reporducing the entire chain of DNA inside the mother cell, the DNA simple divides in half. This means that the two daughter cells… [cont.]

A. Mitosis is the process where one cell becomes two, each with identical chromosomes (diploidy). Chromosomes line up on the equator, are duplicated and then pulled apart to separate hemispheres and then the cell splits to form two identical daughter cells. Meiosis is where one cell divides into two, but each cell has only half the chromosomes (haploidy). The oocytes (ova) and sperm are the only cells which undergo meiosis. The ova and sperm fuse at conception, and become diploid again (that's how you get half the chromosomes from your mum, and half from your dad).
