"Sorry you find this all so difficult to wrap your mind around. The definition of asexual reproduction reproduction,as budding ,fission, or spore formation, not involving the union of gametes. Words have meanings. If a blastocyst splits and two unborns result, what has happened is, by definition, asexual reproduction. As I said..we, and all multicellular animals are capable of asexual reproduction for a short period of time in our development."
Asexual reproduction
Definition
noun
A form of reproduction that does not involve meiosis, ploidy reduction or fertilization, and the offspring is a clone of the parent organism;because of no exchange of genetic material.
Binary fission
Definition
noun
A type of asexual reproduction common among prokaryotes wherein a cell divides giving rise to two cells, each having the potential to grow to the size of the original cell.
Budding
Definition
noun
(biology) The formation of an outgrowth from an organism, and is capable of developing into a new individual; gemmation.
(botany)
(1) The state of forming or developing a bud.
(2) A form of grafting in which a bud of a plant is inserted or grafted into another plant.
(embryology) The process of embryo differentiation in which the old structures are formed in outgrowth from pre-existing parts.
(virology) The forming of a protrusion by certain viruses using a fragment of the host cell membrane in order to acquire their external envelope.
(general) That is beginning to develop; the state of producing buds.
adjective
Developing, flowering.
Spore
Definition
noun, plural: spores
A dormant, reproductive cell formed by certain organisms. It is thick-walled and highly resistant to survive under unfavorable conditions so that when conditions revert to being suitable it gives rise to a new individual.
Zygote
Definition
noun, plural: zygotes
A cell in diploid state following fertilization or union of haploid male sex cell (e.g. sperm) and haploid female sex cell (e.g. ovum).
I honesty do not see the connection that you are forcing yourself to believe. You are being illogical.
"Get the log out of your own eye...and seek some wisdom yourself to deal with your own hate. Pretending to wish me well as a cover for your own anger towards me is a poor cover indeed. And you have yet to disprove a single biological statement that I have made....one logical fallacy after another is all you have managed thus far."
I am not calling you a sociopath or psychopathic murderer. What wrath do I intend to unleash upon you? My opinion within this discussion.? And I do not hate you, and I do wish that God blesses you and I with Christ's wisdom. No hard feelings at all on my side within this conversation. Really.
"That surprises you? The child does not yet have means to get more nutrients....biological activity is happening....energy is being used....why do you suppose that it is surprising that the overall mass has decreased? It would be more interesting if the overall mass did not decrease. If you stop taking in nutrients but your biological activity continues does your mass not decrease?"
Again, you are calling a Zygote or late stage Blastocyst that begins to twin a parent Human Being. That is your imagination not science. Organisms grow, take in nutrients and respond to stimuli.
