Sexual vs Asexual

Explore the differences between asexual and sexual reproduction in organisms, including binary fission, budding, regeneration, and parthenogenesis. Learn about the advantages and disadvantages of each method and understand why one may be preferred over the other in certain situations.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Asexual Reproduction involves only 1 parent offspring genetically identical to parent involves regular body cells its quick Sexual Reproduction involves 2 parents offspring genetic mix of both parents involves specialized sex cells its slow Sexual vs Asexual

  2. Binary Fission Rod-Shaped Bacterium, hemorrhagic E. coli 2 daughter cells are identical to parent

  3. Budding

  4. Spore Formation Fern Fungi

  5. Vegetative Reproduction

  6. Asexual Reproduction • Regeneration-a piece of a parent is detached, it can grow and develop into a completely new individual.

  7. Asexual Reproduction • Parthenogenesis involves the development of an egg that has not been fertilized into an individual. • Animals like most kinds of wasps, bees, and ants that have no sex chromosomes reproduce by this process. Some reptiles and fish are also capable of reproducing in this manner.

  8. Sexual Reproduction in Animals • involves specialized sex cells called gametes • the union of a male and female gamete results in the formation of a zygote that develops into a new individual

  9. Sexual Reproduction in Plants Female Parts Male Parts (Pistil) pollen (male) + ovule (female) → single-celled zygote → multi-celled embryo (contained in a seed) → new individual

  10. Sexual Reproduction Summary

  11. Some Organisms do Both • most plants that produce seeds (sexual reproduction) can also reproduce asexually by things like cuttings or runners • this gives them an advantage for survival mosses sponges and hydra

  12. Asexual Reproduction advantages does not require special cells or a lot of energy can produce offspring quickly in a stable environment creates large, thriving population disadvantages limited ability to adapt face massive die-off if environment changes Sexual Reproduction advantages lots of variation within a species able to live in a variety of environmental settings able to adapt to changes in the environment disadvantages needs time & energy produce small populations Which is Better?It depends!
