2. Asexual reproduction is reproduction with only one parent.
Single cell organisms
Some simple animals
Many plants

3. Asexual reproduction takes place only by mitosis
A. Each offspring has the exact same DNA as the parent.
B. There is NO variation, or change.
C. This type of reproduction is rapid and usually results in large numbers of offspring being produced

4. Binary Fission Spore Formation TYPE WHAT DOES IT? WHAT IS IT? Budding
Regeneration
Bacteria
Protozoa
Algae
Parent divides into two equal parts
Just like mitosis
Binary
Fission
Parent divides into two unequal parts
Parent develops small growths, called buds
Parent and offspring are not the same size
Yeast
Hydra
Sponges
Specialized cells that are released and grow into adult organisms
Usually large numbers are produced
Fungi
Algae
Protozoa
Sea Star
Sponges
Planarian
Earthworms
Ability to regrow lost body parts

5. Binary Fission in a Bacterial Cell

6. Budding
Hydra with bud
Yeast cell with bud
Sponge with buds

7. Human Asexual Reproduction
If humans could reproduce by asexual reproduction, it might look like this…….any questions?

8. Spores

9. Regeneration Sea Star regenerating from one arm
Planarian regenerating a new head after being cut
