3. Star Fish
Type Of Reproduction:
Asexual
Mode Of Reproduction:
Fragmentation
Asexual reproduction in starfish occurs through a process called fission,
where the central disc of the starfish splits into two or more segments. Each
segment, equipped with a portion of the central disc, gradually develops the
missing arms and essential organs to become a complete, independent
starfish
4. Paramecium
caudatum
Type Of Reproduction:
Asexual
Mode Of Reproduction:
Fission
A mature Paramecium caudatum prepares for division by duplicating its
organelles, followed by amitosis of the macronucleus and mitosis of the
micronucleus. A furrow then forms, progressively splitting the cell in half,
culminating in the birth of two daughter cells, each with a complete set of
organelles and nuclei, ready to repeat the cycle.
5. Marbled
Crayfish
Type Of Reproduction:
Asexual
Mode Of Reproduction:
Parthenogenesis
Marbled crayfish reproduce through a process called parthenogenesis. In this
mode of reproduction, a mature female crayfish produces eggs without the need
for fertilization by a male. The eggs develop into fully functional offspring
without genetic contribution from a male crayfish.
6. Komodo Dragon
Type Of Reproduction:
Asexual
Mode Of Reproduction:
Parthenogenesis
Komodo dragons predominantly reproduce through a process called
parthenogenesis. In this phenomenon, a female Komodo dragon can lay fertile
eggs without the involvement of a male. The eggs develop into viable
offspring, with the genetic material originating solely from the mother.
7. New Mexico Whiptail
Lizard
Type Of Reproduction:
Asexual
Mode Of Reproduction:
Parthenogenesis
New Mexico Whiptail Lizards exhibit parthenogenesis as their primary mode
of reproduction. Adult females engage in courtship behaviors with one another,
stimulating the egg-laying process. The eggs laid by these females are viable
without fertilization, and they develop into new individuals through
parthenogenesis.
8. Yeast
Type Of Reproduction:
Asexual
Mode Of Reproduction:
Budding
Yeast reproduces through budding, a form of asexual reproduction. During this
process, a small bud, or daughter cell, forms on the parent yeast cell. The bud
gradually enlarges and eventually detaches, becoming an independent yeast cell
capable of further budding. This process allows for the rapid proliferation of
yeast colonies.
9. Sea Sponge
Type Of Reproduction:
Asexual
Mode Of Reproduction:
Budding
Sea sponges can reproduce asexually through the process of budding. In this
process, a small outgrowth or "bud" forms on the body of the parent sponge.
This bud contains all the cells necessary to develop into a new sponge. The bud
grows and eventually detaches from the parent sponge, becoming an
independent organism.
10. Onion
Type Of Reproduction:
Asexual
Mode Of Reproduction:
Budding
A mature Paramecium caudatum prepares for division by duplicating its
organelles, followed by amitosis of the macronucleus and mitosis of the
micronucleus. A furrow then forms, progressively splitting the cell in half,
culminating in the birth of two daughter cells, each with a complete set of
organelles and nuclei, ready to repeat the cycle.
11. Potatoes
Type Of Reproduction:
Asexual
Mode Of Reproduction:
Budding
Potatoes reproduce asexually through the process of budding, also known as
vegetative propagation. This process involves the formation of "eyes" on the
surface of the potato tuber. These eyes are small bumps that contain dormant buds.
When the potato tuber is exposed to warm, moist conditions, these buds sprout,
forming new stems and leaves. The new stems can eventually develop into new
potato tubers, completing the cycle of reproduction.
12. Bryozoa
Type Of Reproduction:
Asexual
Mode Of Reproduction:
Budding
Bryozoans, also known as moss animals, can reproduce asexually through a
process called budding. Budding involves the formation of new zooids, which
are the individual units that make up a bryozoan colony. These zooids develop
from specialized cells called buds that project from the sides of existing zooids.
The buds grow and eventually develop into fully formed zooids, expanding the
colony.
14. Salmon
Type Of Reproduction:
Sexual
Mode Of Reproduction:
External Fertilization
Asexual reproduction in starfish occurs through a process called fission,
where the central disc of the starfish splits into two or more segments. Each
segment, equipped with a portion of the central disc, gradually develops the
missing arms and essential organs to become a complete, independent
starfish
15. Domestic Dog
Type Of Reproduction:
Sexual
Mode Of Reproduction:
Viviparity, Internal Fertilization
The male dog mounts the female in a process known as copulation. The
male’s penis enters the female’s vagina, and ejaculation occurs,
releasing sperm. The sperm travels up the female’s reproductive tract to
the oviduct, where it fertilizes an egg if one is present. The fertilized egg
then implants itself in the uterus, where it develops into a puppy.
16. Domestic Cat
Type Of Reproduction:
Sexual
Mode Of Reproduction:
Viviparity, Internal Fertilization
Domestic Cat: Cats reproduce through a process called ovulation induced
by mating. The male cat mounts the female and copulates with her, during
which he releases sperm that travels up the female’s reproductive tract to
fertilize an egg. The fertilized egg then implants itself in the uterus, where
it develops into a kitten
17. Lemur
Type Of Reproduction:
Sexual
Mode Of Reproduction:
Viviparity, Internal Fertilization
Lemurs reproduce sexually, with males and females engaging in
copulation. The female lemur gives birth to a single offspring after a
gestation period of about 4.5 months.
18. Gorilla
Type Of Reproduction:
Sexual
Mode Of Reproduction:
Viviparity, Internal Fertilization
Gorillas reproduce through internal fertilization, where the male gorilla
mates with the female, transferring sperm to her. The fertilized eggs
develop into embryos within the female gorilla’s uterus. After a gestation
period of between 8.5 and 9 months, the female gorilla gives birth to one
offspring per delivery, and rarely produces twins.
19. Koala
Type Of Reproduction:
Sexual
Mode Of Reproduction:
Viviparity, Internal Fertilization
Koalas reproduce through internal fertilization, where the male koala mates
with the female, transferring sperm to her. The fertilized eggs develop into
embryos within the female koala’s uterus. After a gestation period of 12 to
14 months, the female koala usually gives birth to one baby.
20. Mountain Goat
Type Of Reproduction:
Sexual
Mode Of Reproduction:
Viviparity, Internal Fertilization
Mountain goats reproduce through internal fertilization, where the male
goat mates with the female, transferring sperm to her. The fertilized eggs
develop into embryos within the female goat’s uterus. After a gestation
period of about 6 months, the female mountain goat gives birth to one
offspring (rarely two).
21. Camels
Type Of Reproduction:
Sexual
Mode Of Reproduction:
Viviparity, Internal Fertilization
Camels reproduce through internal fertilization, where the male camel
mates with the female, transferring sperm to her. The fertilized eggs
develop into embryos within the female camel’s uterus. After a gestation
period of 12 to 14 months, the female camel usually gives birth to one calf.
22. Chicken
Type Of Reproduction:
Sexual
Mode Of Reproduction:
Oviparity, Internal Fertilization
Chickens reproduce through internal fertilization, where the male chicken
mates with the female, transferring sperm to her. The fertilized eggs are
then laid by the female chicken and develop outside of the mother’s body.
A hen lays an egg every 25-27 hours. The egg will remain unfertilized
unless a rooster has fertilized the hen. The fertilized egg hatches into a
chick after about 21 days.
23. Cockatoo
Type Of Reproduction:
Sexual
Mode Of Reproduction:
Oviparity, Internal Fertilization
Cockatoos reproduce through internal fertilization, where the male
cockatoo mates with the female, transferring sperm to her. The fertilized
eggs are then laid by the female cockatoo and develop outside of the
mother’s body. Cockatoos lay two to three eggs, which are incubated for
approximately 24 to 26 days. The chicks usually fledge at approximately 12
to 14 weeks of age.
