Asexual Reproduction Asexual Reproduction Results from mitosis Offspring are genetically identical to parent cell Common types: ◦ Binary Fission ◦ Budding ◦ Regeneration Binary Fission Completed by single-celled organisms Simplest form of asexual reproduction One organisms divides into two through mitosis Example: Bacteria Budding Mulit-celluar organisms “splits” through budding Offspring are smaller than parent; however, will grow and eventually become the same size Example: Hydra Regeneration When a piece of the parent is detached, it can grow into a new individual Example: Starfish Advantages Quick process to complete Requires less energy from the organism for reproduction to occur More reliable and less disadvantageous traits Disadvantages No genetic variation ◦ If there is a problem with the species there is no room for change
