4. Two Types of Reproduction
AseXUAL
Sexual

5. ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION Requires only one “parent”
Creates an exact duplicate of the original (If no mistakes or errors are made)
Occurs by creating a copy of the Genetic material and “dividing” the cell into two
Some multicellular organisms reproduce asexually, Sponges “budding” and Hydras

6. ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
Plant cuttings regenerating
Bacteria
Fungus

7. MITOSIS Cells go through a “Cell Cycle” 3 stages of “Cell Cycle”
Growth
Preparation for Mitosis(Cell Division)
Mitosis(Cell Division)

8. SEXUAL REPRODUCTION Requires at least two “parents”
Combines a partial copy (half) of the Genetic Material from the parents to form a complete Genetic Blueprint
Creates an unique individual with slightly different abilities than the parents

9. MEIOSIS Begins similarly to Mitosis Results in 4 “daughter cells”
Each daughter cell has only half of the Genetic Material
