3. SPI 7.4.1—Classify methods of reproduction as sexual or asexual

4. 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.

5. 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. (The offspring will be genetically the same as the parent)

6. Types of Asexual Reproduction
Budding
Regeneration or Fragmentation
Fission (Binary fission)
Spores
Vegetative Propagation

7. 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.

8. Hydra

10. Cacti

11. Regeneration or Fragmentation
The ability to restore lost or damaged tissues, organs or limbs.
It is a common feature in invertebrates, like worms and starfish.

12. Starfish

14. Planarians

15. Fission Also called binary fission.
Becoming two by division of the complete organism.
A type of cell division.

16. Paramecium

17. Bacteria

19. Spores
A reproductive cell capable of developing into a new individual without fusion with another reproductive cell
Found in mold, fungi, and ferns

20. Mold

21. Puffball

22. Ferns

23. Vegetative Propagation
A process which doesn’t involve a seed to produce new plants.
Examples: runners, bulbs, cuttings, grafting

24. Bulbs

25. Cuttings

26. Grafting

27. Runners

29. Sexual Reproduction Requires two sex cells – egg and sperm
The egg and sperm join to form an entirely new organism
Different from the parent organism

30. Flowering plants

31. Seeds

32. Eggs

33. Fish eggs

34. Frog eggs

35. Baby hedgehogs

36. Baby animals

37. Human babies

38. IMPORTANT!
Asexual reproduction results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent organism
Sexual reproduction results in offspring that are genetically different from the parent organisms

39. Sexual versus Asexual Reproduction
Type of Reproduction
Advantages
Disadvantages
Sexual
Diversity in offspring
Offspring less likely to have mutations show up
Requires a mate to reproduce
Population increases are limited
Asexual
Can increase populations rapidly
Does not require a mate for reproduction to take place
Lack of diversity in offspring
Because they reproduce offspring genetically identical to parents, the offspring inherit any mutations of the parent.
