The document discusses different types of reproduction including sexual reproduction which involves two parents combining genetic material to produce offspring, asexual reproduction which involves one parent producing genetically identical offspring, and specific asexual reproduction methods like binary fission, budding, and vegetative propagation. It asks the essential question of how sexual and asexual reproduction are the same and different.

1. Reproduction
The process by which organisms
produce offspring

2. Reproduction
 The Essential Question!
 How are sexual and asexual
reproduction the same and how are
they different?

3. Types of Reproduction
 Sexual: Two parents have offspring;
offspring share traits from both
parents.
 Asexual: One parent has offspring;
offspring are genetically identical to
parent.

4. Sexual Reproduction
 Animals: Female parent produces an
ovum, male parent produces a sperm. Both
combine to produce an offspring, with
genetic material from each parent.
 Plants: Female part of the plant produces
an ovum, male part of the plant produces
pollen. Both combine to produce an
offspring, with genetic material from each
parent.

5. Asexual Reproduction
 Binary Fission: The process by which
the organism splits into two.
 Most bacteria and protozoa reproduce
by binary fission.

6. Asexual Reproduction
 Budding: an offspring grows out of
the body of the parent.
 Hydra and sponges reproduce by
budding.

7. Vegetative Propagation
 The production of a new organism
from a portion of another organism
 Plants can reproduce by vegetative
propagation

8. Regeneration
 The re-growth of a lost or damaged
part of an organism
 Starfish can regenerate an arm
 Planaria can regenerate into two
organisms

9. Reproduction
 What is it?
The process by which organisms
produce offspring
 What was the Essential Question
again?
How are sexual and asexual
reproduction the same and how are
they different?
