For every living organism, the survival of its species depends on its reproductive success. Reproductive success is when a group of organisms interbreed and the offspring that they produce are fertile.
The 2 types of reproduction are sexual, in which there are 2 parents and the offspring is a combination of 23 of each parent's chromosomes, and asexual, when there is only one parent that makes a clone of itself by duplicating and dividing its chromosomes.
In asexual reproduction, organisms like bacteria reproduce without gametes, using a process called mitosis. During sexual reproduction, on the other hand, fertilization is necessary in order for organisms to reproduce by meiosis.
