What are the types of asexual reproduce? |
Binary fission, fragmentation, Budding, vegetative reproduction and spore formation |
|
|
How many types of asexual reproduction have you studied? |
5 |
|
|
What is the outcome of asexual reproduction? |
When the genetic information is duplicated and the cell splits it equal cells with the exact same information. |
|
|
What are some advantages of asexual reproduction? |
-A large number of offspring are produced quickly -large colonies can form that can out-compete other organisms for nutrients and water -energy is not required to find a mate - less likely to become extinct |
|
|
What are the disadvantages of asexual reproduction? |
-A genetic mutation can make asexually produced organisms susceptible to to disease and can destroy large numbers of offspring -Less genetic variety -Some methods produce offspring that are to close together and have to compete for food -less likely to evolve |
|
|
A special reproductive cell that can grow into a new individual (by mitosis) when the conditions are right. |
Spore formation |
|
|
If an organism breaks part as a result of injury, each piece can develop into a clone of its parent. |
Fragmentation |
|
|
Part of a cell pushes outward to form an outgrowth or bud. This bud then pinches off from the parent to become a cell that is identical to the parent cell. |
Budding |
|
|
Very muhvloke mitosis. A single parent cell replicates it's genetic material and divides into two equal parts. |
Binary fission |
|
|
Special cells, usually in plant stems and roots, divide repeatedly to form structures that will eventually develop into a plant identical to the parent. |
Vegetative reproduction |
|
What type of asexual reproduction is this? Give examples. |
Spore formation. Bacteria, mould, ferns & mosses |
|
What type of asexual reproduction is this? Give examples. |
Starfish, some mushrooms, some plants |
|
What tye of asexual reproduction is this? Give examples. |
Budding. Yeast, hydra, & sea sponges |
|
What type of asexual reproduction is this? Give examples. |
Binary fission. Bacteria (and other prokaryotes), & amoeba. |
|
What type of asexual reproduction is this? Give examples. |
Vegetative Reproduction. Plants, ie) potatoes, African violets, apples, & strawberries. |
