1. Types of Reproduction
Asexual
Sexual

2. Purpose of Reproduction
To make sure a species can continue.
Definition: Reproduction is the process by which an organism produces others of its same kind.

3. Asexual Reproduction
A new organism (sometimes more than one) is produced from one organism.
The offspring will have hereditary material uniform with the hereditary material of the parent organism. This means they will be genetically alike.

4. Asexual Reproduction Basics
Is the simplest form of reproduction
Occurs in plants, simple animals, bacteria, and protists
Requires one parent
Is more reliable than sexual reproduction
Doesn’t allow for any type of genetic variation

5. Types of Asexual Reproduction
Budding
Regeneration
Fission (Binary fission)

6. Budding
Process by which a new, duplicate plant or animal begins to form at the side of the parent and enlarges until an individual is created.
Examples: Hydra and Yeast

9. Regeneration
The ability to restore lost or damaged tissues, organs or limbs.
Regeneration in plants: roots, stem, leaf
It is a common feature in invertebrates, like worms and starfish. No vertebrates have this ability.

11. Binary Fission 1. Organism divides in half
2. 2 identical daughter cells produced
3. Daughter cells are half the parent’s size
4. Daughter cells grow, then divide too
5. Ex. bacteria
