Asexual reproduction requires only one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. Examples of asexual reproduction include binary fission in bacteria and budding in hydra. Sexual reproduction requires two parents and produces offspring that have a mixture of genes from both parents, resulting in genetic variation. Most animals, plants and fungi reproduce sexually. The document provides examples of different modes of asexual and sexual reproduction and their advantages and disadvantages.

 Differentiate asexual from
sexual reproduction in
terms of:
 1 Number of individuals
involved;
 2 Similarities of offspring to
parents

3. REPRODUCTION
3
 : the act or process of reproducing
specifically : the process by which plants and
animals give rise to offspring and which
fundamentally consists of the segregation of a
portion of the parental body by a sexual or an
asexual process and its subsequent growth
and differentiation into a new individual

4. Asexual Reproduction
a. Sexual reproduction - joining of two specialized
cells (gametes - egg and sperm), one from each
parent
1). Offspring are genetically
unique
2). Mixture of genes from
both parents

5. ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
5
Requires only one parent
Offspring have 100% the same chromosomes as the
parent.
 In other words, the offspring are exact “clones” of the
parent.
 Most unicellular organisms reproduce this way.

6. Asexual Reproduction
b. Asexual reproduction - creation of offspring from a single parent.
Offspring genetically identical

7. ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION

Binary Fission
 Bacteria
 Protists
Binary fission is a
form of asexual
reproduction
where every
organelle is copied
and the organism
divides in two.

8. Asexual Reproduction
Binary fission is similar in function to mitosis.
• Asexual reproduction is the creation of offspring from a
single parent.
- Binary fission produces two daughter cells genetically
identical to the parent cell.
- Binary fission occurs in
prokaryotes.

9. Asexual Reproduction

binary
fission
parent cell

cell begins
to divide
daughter
cells
• 1. The bacterial chromosome
is copied. Both copies attach
to the cell membrane.
• 2. As the cell elongates, the
chromosomes separate.
• 3. The membrane is pinched
inward and a new wall is laid
down between two
chromosomes.

10. Asexual Reproduction
Advantages and Disadvantages of Asexual reproduction
Advantages:
•No need to find a mate.
•Can get good varieties of
plants and animals.
•Desired characteristics can
be achieved.
Disadvantages:
•Identical offspring all
respond in same way to
environment.
•Same disease can be
transferred to next
generation.
•No variation within species.
•Less efficient.

11. Asexual Reproduction
B.
1.In environments that don’t
change, asexual may be better.
If they are well suited to
environment may be more
efficient.
2. In changing environments
sexual reproduction produces
genetic diversity which raises
chances for survival.

12. Asexual Reproduction
• Fragmentation is the splitting
of the parent into pieces that
each grow into a new
organism.
• Vegetative reproduction
forms a new plant from the
modification of a stem or
underground structure on
the parent plant.

13. Asexual Reproduction
Reproduction in sea anemone:
• sexually and asexually by dividing in half or
breaking off small pieces from its base

14. EXAMPLES OF ASEXUAL
REPRODUCTION

Plant cuttings
Vegetative reproduction is a
type of asexual reproduction
in plants that relies on multi-
cellular structures formed by
the parent plant. It has long
been exploited in horticulture
and agriculture, with various
methods employed to
multiply stocks of plants.

Budding
 Hydra
Budding is a means of
asexual reproduction
whereby a new
individual develops from
an outgrowth of a
parent, splits off, and
lives independently.
EXAMPLES OF ASEXUAL
REPRODUCTION

Fragmentation
Fragmentation is a
means of asexual
reproduction whereby
a single parent breaks
into parts that
regenerate into whole
new individuals.

Regeneration
Regeneration
occurs when a
body part has
broken off and the
organism grows a
new one.

20. SEXUAL REPRODUCTION

Requires two parents
that each share ½ of
the genetic
information.
 Offspring share
the characteristics
of each parent.
 Meiosis
EXAMPLES OF SEXUAL

 Reptiles

 Flowers are the reproductive organs of
plants.
Some flowers have both male and female
reproductive
organs on the same flower.

 Chickens
 Iguanas
 Lobsters
 Sharks
 Humans

 Sunflowers
 Roses
EXAMPLES OF SEXUAL
REPRODUCTION

24. 24
Happens 2 ways
 Internally (inside)
 The egg is fertilized by sperm
inside the female
 Mammals, birds, reptiles, insects,
spiders
 Externally (outside)
 The egg is fertilized by sperm
outside the female
 The female lays the eggs and then
the male fertilizes them.
 Fish and some amphibians
 Plants and fungi (pollen and spores)
EXAMPLES OF SEXUAL
REPRODUCTION

25. Binary Fission
Asexual
Cell splits and
replicated DNA
goes with each
part
Prokaryotes,
Bacteria
+ Fast and easy
- Everybody has
the same DNA

26. Bacterial Conjugation
Does not produce
offspring, changes
parent.
A bacteria shoots out a
tube and sends a piece
of its DNA to another
bacteria
Bacteria
+ Mixes DNA
- “Parent” loses a little
piece of DNA

27. Fragmentation/ regeneration
Asexual
Body of parent
breaks and
produces offspring
Fungi, moss, sea
stars, planarian
+ Easy
- Parent broken,
same DNA

28. Fragmentation/ regeneration
Moss

29. Budding
Asexual
Offspring grows out
of parent
Yeast, hydras
+ Fast, somewhat
easy
- Same DNA

30. Pollination
Sexual
Pollen is delivered to
female part of plant
Flowering plants
+ Plants don’t have
to move, mixes DNA
- Need external
source for pollination
to take place; wind,
bee, bat, butterfly
etc.
