Modes of reproduction

• Asexual reproduction - mode of reproduction that does not involve

  the use of gametes or sex cells. A new

  offspring is produced by a single parent.
• SEXUAL

  REPRODUCTION

  mode of reproduction that involves the use

  of gametes or sex cells. A male and female

  gamete fuse to form a single cell called

  Zygote
• FISSION

  type of asexual

  reproduction involving the

  division of body into two

  or more equal parts. Each

  part carrying one cop
• FRAGMENTATION

  type of asexual

  reproduction where the body

  breaks into two or more

  parts, with each fragment

  capable of becoming a

  complete individual. The

  offspring will be a clone of

  the parent.
• BUDDING

  type of asexual

  reproduction where a new

  individual arises as an

  outgrowth (bud) from its

  parent, develops organs like

  those of the parent, and

  then detaches itself.
• SPORULATION

  type of asexual

  reproduction where a new

  individual forms from an

  aggregation of cells

  surrounded by a resistant

  capsule or spore, which

  later on germinates.
• ISOGAMY

  fusion of similar

  gametes which are

  usually motile. Because

  both gametes look alike,

  they generally cannot be

  classified as male or

  female
• HETEROGAMY

  fusion of dissimilar gametes. In

  oogamy, a large immotile

  gamete, the egg is fertilized by

  a small motile gamete, the

  sperm. Sexual reproduction

  involving fusion of unlike

  gametes often differing in size,

  structure, and physiology
• BISEXUAL

  REPRODUCTION

  Type of sexual reproduction

  involving the union of

  gametes from two

  genetically different

  parents
• HERMAPHRODITE

  An individual with both

  male and female

  reproductive tissues.
