Asexual Reproduction


Type of reproduction in which a
new organism is produced from
ONE parent and the offspring is
identical to the parent.
Occurs in most plants, bacteria,
protists, and low invertebrates.
Asexual Reproduction


One parent
Offspring
are identical
to the parents.
One Parent
Identical
Offspring


Advantages and Disadvantages of
Asexual Reproduction


Advantages – Identical to parent,
so will get all good characteristics.
Disadvantages – Identical to parent,
so will also get bad characteristics
and is less able to adapt to the
environment.
Asexual Reproduction

Types of Asexual Reproduction

Regeneration – organism uses cell
division to re-grow body parts.

Example: starfish, salamander

Types of Asexual Reproduction

Vegetative Propagation – results in a new
plant that is genetically identical to the
parent plant (a clone).

Examples: strawberry plant, vegetables,
and crops.

Types of Asexual Reproduction

Budding – organism that produces a bud
that breaks away to live on its own.

Example: hydra

Types of Asexual Reproduction

Binary Fission – used by
bacteria, an organism
whose cells do not
contain a nucleus copy
then divide into two
identical organisms

Example: bacteria
Sexual Reproduction


Two parents
Two
Offspring are
Parents
a combination
of both parents
unique / diverse offspring
and are
therefore different
from each parent.
Sexual Reproduction

Advantages and Disadvantages of
Sexual Reproduction


Advantages – variety and/or diversity
of offspring (color, shape, size,
intelligence, ability, etc.), More able to
adapt to environmental changes.
Disadvantages – uniqueness,
sometimes traits needed for survival
are not passed on.
Sexual Reproduction

Types of Sexual Reproduction

Plants – when the reproductive cells
of one plant fertilize
(pollinate) the
reproductive cells
of another plant. This
produces seeds that
can grow into a new plant.
Sexual Reproduction

Types of Sexual Reproduction.

Animals – when the reproductive
cells of one
animal fertilize
the reproductive cells of another
animal. This
produces a
baby (embryo).
