ove doesn’t equal sex. It’s important to remember that asexuality is an umbrella term, and exists on a spectrum. Asexual people – also known as “Ace” or “Aces” – may have little interest in having sex, even though they desire emotionally intimate relationships. Within the ace community there are many ways for people to identify. Asexuality Chart Here are just a few common terms to explore: Demisexual: People who only experience sexual attraction once they form a strong emotional connection with another person. Grey-A: People who identify somewhere between sexual and asexual. Queerplatonic: People who experience a type of non-romantic relationship where there is an intense emotional connection that goes beyond a traditional friendship. Aces commonly use hetero-, homo-, bi-, and pan- in front of the word romantic to describe who they experience romantic attraction to. For example, a person who is hetero-romantic might be attracted to people of a different sex or gender, but not in a sexual way. Asexuality Blurry Do and Don't Say FAQ My friends talk about sex all the time, but I don’t feel any desire to be with someone in that way. Is it normal to not feel any sexual attraction towards other people? I am romantically attracted to boys and girls, but I don’t want to be with them physically. Can I be bisexual and asexual? I kissed my boyfriend for the first time and it was gross! Does this mean I am asexual? How do I tell my partner/the person I like that I am asexual? People are telling me that something is wrong with me now that I’ve come out as asexual. Even worse, some are saying that asexuality doesn’t exist. How can I help them understand me? Question 1: My friends talk about sex all the time, but I d

4. SEXUAL AND
ASEXUAL
REPRODUCTION

5. ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
 It is the reproduction mode where a single
organism (parent) gives rise to its offspring.

6.  it is the relatively faster reproduction mode because less time and
energy is required in the process.
 The offspring is essentially the clone of the parent as their genetical
makeup is 100% identical.
 Lack of genetic variability in clones makes the species more
vulnerable in extinction when drastic change in environment occur.
 It is a typical in prokaryotic organisms like fungi, protozoa, and
certain plants and animals can also reproduce asexually.
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION

7. SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
It is the reproduction mode that involves two
sexually opposite parents – a female and a
male one.

8.  It involves the union of gametes or sex cells particularly
the egg cell from female and sperm cell from male in the
process called fertilization.
 It is relatively slower reproduction mode because more
energy and time is required in the process.
 The offspring in sexual reproduction has a genetic make
up that is 50%identical to its mother and 50% identical
to its father.
SEXUAL REPRODUCTION

9.  However the expression of the genetic traits in an offspring is not
straightforward thing because of the existence of dominant and
recessive genes that determine which traits will be expressed or
suppressed.
 A gene refers to the physical and functional unit of heredity which is
found in the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) inside the cell’s nucleus.
 Genetic variability may give rise to favorable characteristics that can
make species more resistant to extinction when faced with drastic
changes in its environment.

10. Asexual vs. Sexual
Reproduction

11. Match it Up- From your prior knowledge, match up the
two types of reproduction with their characteristics and
place the items a the Venn Diagram in your interactive
notebook
Reproduction Type
Sexual reproduction
Asexual reproduction
 Characteristics
 Two parents
 Identical offspring
 One parent
 Not identical offspring
 Passes on DNA to from parent to
offspring
 Bacteria, protists, some plants, yeast
 Fish, Mammals, Amphibians, Birds,
Reptiles, Insects

Look at each picture and decide whether
it demonstrated asexual or sexual
reproduction and describe why you think
so.

17. She can reproduce the old-fashioned way, by
mating with a male and laying eggs. Or she can
lay eggs without having mated, through a sort of
virgin birth process called parthenogenesis.
17

18. Asexual Reproduction
 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.
 Mitosis
18

19. Asexual Reproduction
 Binary Fission
 Bacteria
 Protists
19
Binary fission is a form
of asexual reproduction
where every organelle
is copied and the
organism divides in
two.

20. Asexual Reproduction
 Budding
 Hydra (usually asexual)
20
Budding is a means of
asexual reproduction
whereby a new individual
develops from an
outgrowth of a parent,
splits off, and lives
independently.

21. Asexual Reproduction- Spore
 Found in fungi, algae, protozoa
 Airborne cells that are released from the parent. They are
enclosed and developed when the environment is
appropriate
21

22. Asexual Reproduction
 Regeneration
22
Regeneration occurs
when a body part has
broken off and the
organism grows a new
one.

23. Asexual Reproduction
 Fragmentation
23
Fragmentation is a means of asexual
reproduction whereby a single
parent breaks into parts that
regenerate into whole new
individuals.

24. Asexual Reproduction
 Plant cuttings/ vegetative
propagation
24
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.

25. Asexual reproduction- Mitosis
 The process where animal cells divide
 This is a type of asexual reproduction
 Body cells (somatic cells) go through
the process of mitosis
 Results in an exact copy of the parent
cell
25

26. Asexual Reproduction
 Examples of organisms that reproduce asexually
 Hydra
 Sea Star
 Strawberry
 Archaebacteria
 Eubacteria
 Euglena
 Paramecium
 Yeast
26

27. Sexual Reproduction
 All the members of the Animal Kingdom
 Fish
 Mammals
 Amphibians
 Birds
 Reptiles
 Insects
 Crustaceans
27

28. Sexual Reproduction
 Requires two parents that each share ½ of the genetic information.
 Offspring share the characteristics of each parent.
 Meiosis
28

29. Advantages vs Disadvantages of
Asexual Reproduction
Advantages
 Asexual reproduction produces more
offspring
 Asexual reproduction takes less time
 Only one parent involved. No
searching for mates
 Requires less energy
Disadvantages
 Same DNA being passed down NO
GENETIC VARIATION IN THE
OFFSPRING
 If parent has genetic disease offspring
will have it too
29

30. Advantages vs Disadvantages of
Sexual Reproduction
Advantages
 Variation in offspring
 Organism is more protected because
of genetic variation
Disadvantages
 Requires two organisms. Must find a
mate
 requires more cellular energy
 More time required for offspring
development
30

31. Sexual Reproduction
 Plant Kingdom
 Flowers are the reproductive organs of plants.
 Some flowers have both male and female reproductive organs on the same
flower.
31
Male flower Female flower

32. Sexual Reproduction
 Examples of organisms that reproduce sexually
 Chickens
 Iguanas
 Lobsters
 Sharks
 Humans
 Butterflies
 Sunflowers
 Roses
32

33. Sexual Reproduction
 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)
33

34. Summarize
 Write two paragraphs with 6 sentences each describing asexual and sexual
reproduction.
 Paragraph 1: Asexual reproduction is…..
 Paragraph 2: Sexual reproduction is…
