Section 1: Use the internet or other reference material to identify the domains and
kingdoms of living organisms. In order to review the domains and kingdoms
of living organisms, fill in the chart below. Leave the examples blank until
you have done all four sections. Make sure you add the organisms from the
chart on Section 4 to the examples.

Section 2: Using the internet, find and draw an example of a prokaryotic cell and a
eukaryotic cell. For each one, label where the DNA or genetic material is
found.
prokaryotic cell
eukaryotic cell
Section 3: Use the prepared slide, or search a video on-line of yeast “budding”.
Budding is a form of asexual reproduction so it only requires one parent.
Draw and describe what you see in the space below.

Description
Bacteria are unicellular prokaryotes that reproduce by
splitting into new cells.
Cyanobacteria is a unicellular prokaryote that
reproduces by splitting into new cells.
Protists are unicellular, eukaryotic organisms that
reproduce by splitting into new cells.
Spider plants produce new plants from roots or runners.
The root or runner can be placed in water or soil to
produce another plant. This process is sometimes
referred to as “cuttings”.
Strawberries reproduce from runners or roots.
Strawberries can also reproduce sexually.
Hydra reproduce by through cell division to form a bud
that is an identical copy of its parent. The bud eventually
separates from the parent and becomes independent.
Mold and mushrooms form spores, which are packets of
cells that leave the parent and grow in a new location.
22. What are the four types of asexual reproduction listed on the chart?
23. What do all of these types of asexual reproduction have in common?
24. How will the offspring compare to the parent in terms of traits and genetic material?
25. Can humans reproduce asexually? ______________________________________________
