1. Offspring are IDENTICAL to parents
Asexual Reproduction
Uses ONLY 1 source of DNA
Offspring are IDENTICAL to parents

2. Asexual Reproduction Reproduction that uses ONLY 1 source of DNA
Offspring (babies) are genetically IDENTICAL to the parent
MITOSIS is a form of ASEXUAL reproduction

3. Types of Asexual Reproduction
Binary Fission
Budding
Spore Formation
Regeneration
Vegetative Propagation

4. Are the offspring DIFFERENT from or IDENTICAL to the parent?
Binary Fission
2. Nucleus Divides
1. Parent Cell
4. Two Daughter Cells
3. Cytoplasm Divides
Are the offspring DIFFERENT from or IDENTICAL to the parent?
WHY??

5. Budding A smaller version grows off the side of the parent
When fully developed (but still SMALLER than parent) it will fall off and grow to adult size
Hydra, Yeast

6. Hydra Budding Bud forms on side of parent Bud develops and matures
When fully developed, Bud falls off
Seperate bud grows to full size

7. Spore Formation Small packets of DNA are released from the parent.
Wherever the spore lands, a new offspring grows
Molds and Fungi use this method

8. Spore Formation
Also called Sporulation

9. Regeneration
When a piece of the parent breaks off and grows into a new organism
Parent regrows lost part
Starfish, Lizards, Newts

10. Regeneration

11. Sexual Reproduction in Plants
Plants can reproduce SEXUALLY or ASEXUALLY
Plants have reproductive parts – when pollen and egg combine that is SEXUAL reproduction (2 sources of DNA – pollen & egg)

12. Vegetative Propagation
When the NON reproductive parts of a plant (stems, leaves, etc.) grow new offspring…this is ASEXUAL reproduction
All the DNA is coming from the leaf or stem cell that is dividing

13. Are the offspring INDENTICAL to or DIFFERENT from the parent?
WHY?
