Sexual And Asexual Reproduction

Cards (15)

  • Asexual reproduction

    • Involves one parent
    • Involves no gametes
    • Offspring are genetically the same as the parents
  • Sexual reproduction

    • Usually involves 2 parents
    • Involves gametes
    • Involves fertilization
    • Offspring are genetically different from each of parents
  • Types of asexual reproduction

    Fission
    Fragmentation
    Regeneration
    Budding
    Vegetative Propagation
    Spore Formation
  • Fission
    A form of asexual reproduction where an organism divides into two or more parts, each of which grows into a new individual
  • Fission
    • Bacteria reproducing by binary fission
  • Fragmentation
    A method of asexual reproduction where an organism breaks into fragments, and each fragment develops into a new organism
  • Fragmentation
    • Starfish regenerating from a broken arm
  • Regeneration
    The process by which an organism regrows lost or damaged body parts
  • Regeneration
    • A salamander regenerating its tail
  • Budding
    A type of asexual reproduction where a new organism develops as an outgrowth from the parent organism
  • Budding
    • Yeast reproducing through budding
  • Vegetative propagation
    A form of asexual reproduction in plants where new individuals grow from existing vegetative structures like roots, stems, or leaves
  • Vegetative propagation
    • Growing a new plant from a cutting of an existing plant
  • Spore formation
    A method of reproduction in some organisms where specialized cells called spores are produced, capable of developing into new individuals under favorable conditions
  • Spore formation
    • Fungi reproducing by forming spores
