science question (cloning)

Im beginning an essay on cloning and i am having a lot of trouble finding journals due to the fact that i cannot find the proper terms to search for.

I need to find out the definitions for gametic and agametic cloning, im pretty sure that gametic cloning involves sexual cells cultured, but im not sure what agametic cloning is, my best guess would be cloning involving non-sexual cells. Could someone confirm this.

This is very important, any help would be greatly appreciated

Gametic cloning requires the fertilization of the gametes, whereas agametic cloning does not.

So basically agametic cloning is like assexual reproduction.

Yup.
