  1. Warm-up 4/13/15: • Why do you think some organisms reproduce asexually while others reproduce sexually?

  2. Methods of Reproduction: Asexual vs. Sexual

  3. Asexual Reproduction: requires only 1 parent and the offspring are an exact genetic copy of the parent---a “clone”

  4. Asexual Reproduction: • Organisms that reproduce asexually cannot develop much genetic diversity, because they are “copying” the original organism exactly.

  5. Methods of asexual reproduction: • Binary fission • Budding • Fragmentation • Parthenogenesis • Regeneration • Mitosis • Spores

  6. Single-celled organisms (Amoeba, paramecium, euglena) copy the DNA and split the cell into two identical halves Binary fission

  7. When conditions are good, such as plenty of water, food, optimal temperature, binary fission is an effective way of producing a large # of offspring. • For example, the cell of a Paramecium can divide, grow, and divide again in the space of 8 hours.

  8. Budding- an offspring grows out of the body of the parent. Hydra Budding offspring Cactus Budding

  9. In yeasts, the cell does not divide equally in two halves; instead, there is a large “mother” cell and a smaller “daughter” cell. Budding Yeast - budding

  10. Fragmentation In this form, the body of the parent breaks into distinct pieces, each of which can produce an offspring. -Pieces of coral broken off in storms can grow into new colonies.

  11. Fragmentation- plant cuttings Some plants can grow from cutting them up and replanting them.

  12. Green plants are quite sophisticated in their methods of asexual reproduction. Offspring may be produced by runners, bulbs, rhizomes or tubers.

  13. Parthenogenesis • Parthenogenesis is when females produce eggs that develop without fertilization. It’s seen in some invertebrates, along with several fish, amphibians, reptiles, and plants. • No known cases of parthenogenesis in mammals.

  14. Regeneration Regeneration is when an organism is capable of re-growing missing parts. -A new starfish can grow from one detached arm.

  15. Mitosis Mitosis is the division of a nucleus of multicellular, eukaryotic organisms. It’s how we grow identical body cells to create tissues and organs. It’s also how we heal and replace injured or old cells. The cells produced are identical to the parent.

  16. Common micro-organisms in pond water: • Many species from bacteria to animals can be found in pond water. We will divide the species by kingdom and state general differences in their classification.

  17. Kingdom Monera: • Monera are unicellular and prokaryotic (no nucleus or membrane-bound organelles) • Ex. Bacteria • VERY tiny under microscope

  18. Kingdom Protista: • Protists are unicellular and eukaryotic (have a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles) • Some are “animal-like”=eat and some are “plant-like”=photosynthesis • Ex. Amoeba, Paramecium, Euglena, Algae

  19. Kingdom Animalia • Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic, and heterotrophic. • Ex. Hydra, Daphnia, Rotifers

  20. Practice: draw the following organisms in detail on high power (100x) • Amoeba • Paramecium • Euglena • Stentor • Spirogyra • Volvox • Hydra • Radiolaria

  29. What is sexual reproduction? • Requiring 2 parents • male and female (egg & sperm) • The egg and sperm join (zygote) to form an entirely new organism • Offspring are different from the parent organism because

  30. Sexual Reproduction: Requiring 2 parents (egg & sperm) Combining different genetic material

  31. Methods of sexual reproduction: Pollination External Fertilization Internal Fertilization

  32. Pollen is produced in the male organs of the flowers - anthers. Pollination occurs when pollen is transferred from the anthers to the female organs by wind or by animals. If the female stigma is receptive to a pollen grain, the pollen produces a pollen tube, which grows through the female tissue to the egg, where fertilization takes place by the sperm nucleus. Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants

  33. External Fertilization • External fertilization usually requires a medium such as water, which the sperms can use to swim towards the egg cell. External fertilization usually occur in fish and amphibians. • The females lay the eggs in the water and the male squirts the sperm in the same area.

  34. Internal Fertilization • Fertilization occurs within the female. • Internal fertilization occurs in mammals, insects, birds, reptiles. • Mammals (gorillas, lions, elephants, rats, zebras, and dolphins have live births) • Insects, birds, reptiles lay eggs

  35. Sexual Reproduction • Sexual reproduction produces a greater chance of variation within a species than asexual reproduction would. • This variation improves the chances that a species will adapt to his environment and survive.

  36. Sexual vs. Asexual Reproduction • Asexual reproduction results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent organism. • Sexual reproduction results in offspring that are genetically different from the parent organisms.
