ON

2. Reproduction
• Is the production of a new generation
of individuals of the same species
• Involves the transmission of
genetic material from one
generation to the next, ensuring
that the species survives over long
periods of time,even though
individual members die

3. Two Types of Reproduction
Asexual Sexual

4. AsexualReproduction
is reproduction by a single
organism with out production of
gametes
usually results in the production of
genetically identical offspring
How can variation occur in
asexual reproduction?

5. Mutations

6. What are identical offspring from a
single parent referred to as?
A clone

7. Cloning
in biology is the process of
producing similar populations
of genetically identical
individuals that occurs in nature
when organisms such as
bacteria, insects or plants
reproduce asexually.

8. Cloning
in biotechnology refers to processes
used to create copies of DNA
fragments (molecular cloning), cells
(cell cloning), or organisms. The
term also refers to the production
of multiple copies of a product such
as digital media or software.

9. Most animals species do
not naturally reproduce
asexually
There are several types
of asexual reproduction

10. Asexual
Reproduction
It only takes one

11. Binary Fission (mitosis)
One parent makes one
daughter cell
Used by one-celled
organisms, like bacteria)

12. Budding
The offspring just pops out of the
parent
Examples: hydra and yeast

13. Spores
Spores are
formed and
dispersed by
some plants,
algae, and
fungi.

14. Vegetative Reproduction
New individuals are made without
seeds
or spores

15. Types of Vegetative
Reproduction
Runners
Rhizomes
Tubers
Bulbs
Grafting

16. Runners
Plant stems send out
“extensions” above
ground. These extensions give
rise to new
plants.

17. Rhizomes
Like runners, but underground. The
runners are called stolons and they
come from the roots.

18. Tubers
An underground, modified stem which
can form buds which make new
plants.

19. Bulbs
Underground shoot with modified
leaves which are used as food for
dormant plant.

20. Grafting
Part of one plant fuses with
another plant.
