Learn about various types of asexual reproduction, including binary fission, budding, spores, and vegetative propagation in plants. Explore how offspring are produced without the need for sex cells, resulting in genetically identical individuals.
E N D
Asexual Reproduction 1. One parent 2. No sex cells 3. Offspring produced by cell division 4. Offspring identical to parent (same DNA) 5. Several types Asexual Reproduction
Binary Fission 1. Organism divides in half 2. 2 identical daughter cells produced 3. Daughter cells are half the parent’s size 4. Daughter cells grow, then divide too 5. In bacteria Types of Asexual Reproduction
Budding 1. Small bud grows out of parent cell 2. Two different sized cells made (with identical DNA) 3. Bud breaks off and grows 4. In yeast and hydra Types of Asexual Reproduction
3. Spores • spores, which are single cells, are released from the parent and can develop into new individuals (bread mold) note: spores are different from seeds… they do not form from sex cells from 2 parents as seeds do.
5. Vegetative Propagation = Asexual Plant Reproduction • when new plants develop from roots, stems, or leaves of the parent plant
Tuber each eye, if separated, will grow into a genetically identical potato plant
Runner above ground stems can be cut once little plants have roots… all genetically identical – asexual repro! strawberry plant
