Organisms that Asexually
Reproduce
1. Bacteria
• Splitting or binary fission : they
make a copy of their DNA and then
split in half.
• What can you assume about the two
new cells’ DNA?
• The two cells are exactly the same!
Bacteria
• The two cells are exactly the same!
Bacteria Reproducing:
Let’s look at another example of
asexual reproduction:
2. Planarian
• Planarians are flatworms that live in
ponds, streams and oceans
• Flatworms have eyespots that distinguish
between light and dark
• They feed on dead or decaying material
• When flatworms are
cut in half, they
reproduce into two new
flatworms.
• What is special about
the DNA of the two new
worms?
3. Hydra
• Live in freshwater
• Reproduce by
budding
• Budding: when the
offspring just
grows off the side
of the parent.
