Asexual Reproduction Notes Asexual Reproduction Reproduction involving only one parent organism Occurs without meiosis and fertilization Have the exact same genetic material as the parent Fission Cell Division in prokaryotes that forms two genetically identical cells Simpler than Mitosis because prokaryotes don’t have a nucleus Occurs in bacteria like E. coli Mitotic cell division Asexual reproduction in unicellular eukaryotes when the organism goes through cell division to reproduce Occurs in Amoeba Budding A form of Asexual Reproduction in which a new organism grows by mitosis and cell division on the body of its parent Occurs in Hydra Regeneration When an offspring grows from a piece of its parent Occurs in sea stars and planarian Vegetative reproduction A form of asexual reproduction in which offspring grow from a part of a parent plant Occurs in strawberry plants and potatoes Cloning Organisms that are genetically engineered by humans from a single cell or cluster of cells taken from a multicellular organism The first mammal cloned was a sheep named Dolly Advantages of Asexual Reproduction There is no energy or time required to find a mate The parent can have lots of offspring in a very short amount of time There is no parental care required Disadvantages of Asexual Reproduction Identical to their parents, all members of a species are identical to each other If a disease or change in environment occurs, all individuals will be affected
