REPRODUCATION Cell division
DIVISION • Organisms reproduce themselves by many various methods • Some of these methods include: • Asexual • Binary fission • Budding • Sporulation • Vegetative propagation • Fragmentation and Regeneration • Mitosis • Sexual • Meiosis
BINARY FISSION • Asexual reproduction • Prokaryotic cells • Some protozoa • Some organelles in Eukaryotic cells
BUDDING • Involves new individuals splitting off from existing ones • In this example, new individuals grow out from the body of a parent • The offspring may either detach from the parent , or remain joined, eventually forming a colony • Example – stony coral
SPORULATION • This is the process by which an organism produces reproductive cells (spores) by mitosis • The organism stores these cells in sporangia, which burst open to release spores that are capable of producing adult organisms (e.g., bread mould, Penicillium). • Sporulation can also be a sexual type of reproduction (e.g., gametophytes).
VEGETATIVE PROPAGATION • This is the process by which a new organism is created from the roots, stems, or leaves of plants • For example: • rhizoids in moulds, • willow branches can develop roots and grow into a new tree, • runners in strawberry plants can sprout roots and develop into a new plant
FRAGMENTATION • Fragmentation is another type of asexual reproduction • Involves the breaking of the body into several pieces, some which will develop into complete adults
REGENERATION • To be able to reproduce by fragmentation, it must be followed by regeneration – the regrowth of lost body parts • If an organism loses an appendage, and then re-grows it, they have not reproduced – since a new organism is not created • Some sea stars Linckia can develop new organisms from a single arm, so one single animal can produce five new offspring asexually
