Asexual Reproduction In Plants

2. Asexual Reproduction • Asexual Reproduction is a result of Meiotic Cell Division. • Parent cells divide into two identical daughter cells. • In Asexual reproduction the offspring are genetically identical to the original. • In Asexual Reproduction there are no fusing off cells. • Unicellular Plants And Multi-cellular Plants can reproduce both sexually and asexually. • Asexual Reproduction is not as complex and requires far less energy. • Different Types of asexual reproduction are: Binary Fission, Budding, Sporulation, Regeneration, Vegetative Propagation and Cloning.

3. Binary Fission • Simplest type of asexual reproduction. • Binary Fission involves a one celled organism. • Binary Fission produces new daughter cells. • Binary Fission begins with DNA but doesn’t exchange genetic info. • The cells become an exact replication of each other.

4. Budding • This is when a child grows out of the parent. • Hydras and yeast are examples of budding. • When the cell splits off the nucleus divides equally but it’s cytoplasm divides unequally. • The parent and child could stay connected and form a colony or separate.

5. Sporulation • Spores contain a nucleus and a small amount cytoplasm. • Sporulation sprouts out of decaying materials releasing spores to make more sprouts. • Some examples are bread mold, mushrooms, mosses and ferns.

6. Regeneration • Development of a new organism from a peace of a new parent. • Also helps with replacement of body parts. • Some examples of regeneration are sponges and plantaria. • So if a starfish gets a leg torn off it can be made into a new starfish.

7. Vegetative Propagation • It is when a part of a plant grows into a new plant. • Everything but seed reproduction is considered vegetative propagation. • Vegetative propagation can occur naturally or unnaturally. • Types of natural vegetative propagation are tubers, runner, rhizomes and bulbs. • Types of unnatural vegetative propagation are cuttings and grafting.

8. Vegetative Propagation Runners • Stems grow on top and across the ground from the existing stem. • From the runner new plants grow • Some examples are strawberries and some grasses. Bulbs • Underground stems for food storage • Food stored in large leafs • Each bulb develops into a new plant. • One example of bulbs are onions.

9. Vegetative Propagation Tubers • Underground stems that contain stored food. • The eyes of potato can develop into new plants. • Potato are one example of tubers. Rhizomes • Long modified stems that grow horizontally under the ground. • New plants grow off the roots. • Long grasses, ferns, and irises are examples of rhizomes.

10. Vegetative Propagation Cuttings • Pieces of a root or stem that in certain conditions are made into new plants. • Some examples are bananas, roses and sugar cane Grafting • Taking a part of a plant and connecting it to another one. • Combining the two plants. • Some examples are seedless oranges and grapes.
