Not Just Because - Biology

Every living thing on Earth reproduces — but not all of them need a partner to do it. Some organisms split in two, bud off copies, or even regrow from a broken piece, while others mix genetic information from two parents to create offspring that are all a little different.

Some organisms split in two, bud off copies, or even regrow from a broken piece, while others mix genetic information from two parents to create offspring that are all a little different.
