The document discusses various modes of asexual reproduction including fission, mitotic cell division, budding, regeneration, vegetative reproduction, and cloning. Asexual reproduction involves a single parent producing offspring that are genetically identical through mechanisms such as cell division, budding off of new individuals, or regeneration of new individuals from fragments of the parent. Many different types of organisms, including fungi, bacteria, protists, plants and animals, are capable of asexual reproduction.

1. IT ONLY TAKES ONE

2. ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
1. One parent
2. Offspring produced by
asexual reproduction
inherit all of their DNA
from one parent.
Therefore, they are
genetically the same as
each other and their
parent.

3. 1. You have seen the results of
asexual reproduction if you
have ever seen mold on bread
or fruit.
2. Mold is a type of fungus that
can reproduce either sexually
or asexually.

4. 1. There are many different types of
organisms that reproduce asexually.
2. Not only fungi, but also bacteria,
protists, plants, and animals can
reproduce asexually.

5. 1. FISSION
2. MITOTIC CELL DIVISION
3. BUDDING
4. ANIMAL REGENERATION
5. VEGETATIVE REPRODUCTION
6. CLONING (plant and animal)

6. 1. Also called binary
fission.
2. Becoming two by
division of the
complete organism.
3. A type of cell
division.
1. FISSION

5. VEGETATIVE REPRODUCTION
6. CLONING (plant and animal)
A single celled
organism;
paramecium
undergoing
binary fission.

7. 1. Many unicellular eukaryotes, such as
amoebas, reproduce by mitotic cell division.
2. In this type of asexual reproduction, an
organism forms two offspring through mitosis
and cell division.

8. 1. The nucleus of the cell divides by
mitosis.
2. Next, the cytoplasm and its contents
divide through cytokinesis.
3. Two new amoebas form.

9. 1. In budding, a new organism grows by mitosis
& cell division on the body of its parent.
2. The bud, or offspring, is genetically identical
to its parent.
3. When the bud is large enough, it can break
from the parent and live on its own.

1. Sometimes the bud stays
attached to the parent and
starts to form a colony. Corals
are animals that form colonies
through budding.

11. 1. Another type of asexual reproduction is
regeneration.
2. It occurs when an offspring grows from a
piece of its parent.
3. Animals that can reproduce asexually through
regeneration include sponges, sea stars, and
planarians.

12. 1. Some animals can
regenerate a lost or
damaged body part.
2. This type of
regeneration is not
considered asexual
reproduction. It does

1. Plants can also reproduce asexually in a
process similar to regeneration.
2. Vegetative reproduction is a form of
asexual reproduction in which offspring
grow from part of a parent plant.
3. Strawberries, raspberries, potatoes, and
geraniums are other plants that can

14. 1. Cloning is a type of asexual reproduction
performed in laboratories.
2. It produces identical individuals from a cell
or from a cluster of cells taken from a
multicellular organism.
3. Farmers and scientists often clone cells or
organisms that have desirable traits.
