Asexual Reproduction
Asexual Reproduction: Only one parent is required to produce offspring. Offspring look identical to the parent and to each other. Clone: An identical genetic copy of its parents
5 types of Asexual Reproduction :
1) Spore formation: Some organisms reproduce using spores.
Moulds reproduce by formation of spores that are genetically identical to the mould cell Spores are released into the air from a structure call a sporangium
• Spores are light weight, and rely on water or wind to carry the spores away from the parent. • Many types of spore have a tough outer coating that allows them to survive harsh conditions.
1)Binary Fission: a single parent cell replicates its genetic material and divides into two equal parts. • If the single cell contains a nucleus the cell undergoes mitosis
• Bacteria have no nucleus, so they do not undergo mitosis. • Some bacteria only have a single ring of DNA, and can duplicate very rapidly. • Bacteria tend to mutate rapidly, and can become very resistant to antibiotics, creating SUPER BUGS
2) Budding: Yeasts reproduce by budding. Yeasts are unicellular, eukaryotic organisms. https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=i. Ovrq 6 ssy 2 Y
Areas of an individual organism may undergo repeated mitosis and cell division, which will grow a bud that pinches off to become a separate identical cell Example of a hydra budding
• The bud may detach from the parent and become a new individual or remain attached. • This way colonies can stay in the same place, or move to a new location
3)Fragmentation: some organisms break apart as a result of injury. The fragment then develops into a clone of its parent.
• Animals can do this as long as they contain enough of the parent genetic information. • Reproduction after fragmentation does not happen without regeneration. Regeneration: the ability to regrow a body part, a tissue, or an organ.
5) Vegetative reproduction: Plants can reproduce sexually and asexually. Asexual reproduction: vegetative reproduction New plants grow from a portion of the roots, stems or leaves of an existing plant that will eventually develop into a plant identical to the parent.
Cutting Method:
Splitting Method: A plant is split into two or more pieces, each containing intact shoots and roots
