1. Types of Asexual Reproduction

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.
Involves mitotic cell division (usually very rapid compared to sexual reproduction)

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

5. Budding Parent organism divides into two unequal parts
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.
Very common in plants

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

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

12. Asexual Plant Reproduction
Bulbs
Short underground stem surrounded by thick leaves. Contains stored food. As the plant grows, it produces new bulbs which will grow into new plants. Examples: tulips, onions, lilies.

13. Asexual plant reproduction
Runners
Runners are long, thin stems that run underground and new plants form at the end of these. Strawberries reproduce like this.

14. Asexual Plant Reproduction
Cuttings
Using a portion of a developed plant to make a new plant. Roses, ivy, and grapevines are reproduced in this way.
