Answer:

Meiosis

Explanation:

All living organisms reproduce i.e. replicate themselves by producing young ones. However, they either do this sexually or asexually. Asexual reproduction involves the contribution of only one of the parent while sexual reproduction involves the two parent's contribution.

In sexual reproduction, a process of gamete formation called MEIOSIS occurs whereby the parental cell produces reproductive daughter cells that have a reduced number of chromosome (by half). The male and female gamete unites in sexual-reproducing organisms to form the offsprings.

Since only one parent is needed in asexual reproduction, there is no need for formation of gametes, hence, meiosis (a division only for reproductive cells) does not occur. The parent simply divides into its progeny.

Why is the weight of an object more on Earth than on the Moon?
erma4kov [3.2K]
This happens if the object goes somewhere where gravity is stronger, or weaker, such as the Moon. The Moon has less mass than the Earth, so its gravity is less than the Earth's gravity. This means that objects weigh less on the Moon than they do on the Earth. The Moon's gravity is one sixth of the Earth's gravity. Hope this helps!
