This document discusses and compares asexual and sexual reproduction. It defines asexual reproduction as reproduction involving only one parent that produces offspring identical to itself. Methods of asexual reproduction include vegetative reproduction, binary fission, budding, spore formation, and regeneration. Sexual reproduction involves the merging of genetic material from two parents to produce offspring with a combination of both parents' genes. Methods of sexual reproduction discussed include conjugation, pollination, and fertilization. The document aims to differentiate asexual and sexual reproduction in terms of the number of individuals involved and the genetic similarities between parents and offspring.

9. OBJECTIVES:
•Differentiate asexual from sexual reproduction in
terms of:
1.Number of individuals involved
2.Similarities of offspring to parents.

10. Asexual vs. Sexual
Reproduction

11. Occur when only one parent produces one or more
offspring that are identical to itself or has the
exact genetic make-up with the parent and that
live independently of it.
Mostly occurs in single-celled organisms
Asexual reproduction = one parent
1. Asexual Reproduction

12. Vegetative Reproduction

13. A. Vegetative Reproduction
Form of asexual reproduction in plants that occurs
when a new plant develops from fragments of the
parents or specialized reproductive structure
(stolon, rhizome, tuber, corm or bulb)
Example: Cactus plants which can reproduce
through its leaves.

14. B. Binary Fission
Process by which parent cell splits or
divides to form two identical daughter
cells that are identical to the parent cell.
Each daughter cell grows until it becomes
as large as the parent cell.
Example: Amoeba, Bacteria

15. C. Budding
Organism develops tiny buds on its body. Each bud
forms from the parent’s cells and grows until it forms a
complete or nearly complete new organism that is
genetically identical to the parent.
The outgrowth detaches from parent and becomes a new
individual.

18. D. Spore Formation
Spores are stored in sacs called sporangia.
When sporangia burst open; minute single-celled
structures called spores are released.
Under favorable conditions, these spores develop
into new identical organism.
Example: Bread Mold

19. E. Regeneration
Process by which body of
parent breaks and
produces offspring or it
occurs when a body part
has broken off and the
organism grows a new one.

21. 2. Sexual Reproduction
Involves the merging of genetic
information from two individual
parents to produce a new organism
that is a combination of both
parents.

22. A. Conjugation
This type of sexual reproduction occurs when two
organisms of the same species temporarily unite
to merge one organism’s contents, along with its
genetic material, with the other.
One organism is left with an empty shell while the
other becomes a new individual.
Example: Spirogyra (green alga)

24. B. Pollination
Combines the male and female gametes of a
flower and it happens when a pollen grain of the
right kind lands on the stigma of the pistil.
Example: bees transfer pollen of a male flower
to the female flower.

26. C. Fertilization
A type of sexual reproduction that combines the
male and female gametes of an organism to form a
zygote.
Example: Humans reproduce through
fertilization.
