Types of Reproduction Asexual Sexual
Background…. • Heredity-The transmission of genetic information (through DNA) from parents to offspring • Genetics- The science of heredity, dealing with resemblances (likeness) and differences of related organisms.
Purpose of Reproduction • Why do organisms reproduce? • To make sure a species can continue. Definition: Reproduction is the process by which an organism produces others of its same kind. (OFFSPRING)
Asexual Reproduction • A new organism (sometimes more than one) is produced from one organism. • The offspring will have genetic material uniform with the genetic material of the parent organism. This means they will be genetically alike.
Types of Asexual Reproduction • Budding • Regeneration • Fission (Binary fission)
Budding • Duplicate plant or animal begins to form at the side of the parent and enlarges until an individual is created. • Very common in plants

Regeneration • The ability to restore a full organism lost or damaged tissues, organs or limbs. (Common feature in invertebrates, like worms and starfish.)

Fission • Also called binary fission. -Becoming two by division of the complete organism. • A type of cell division.

Sexual Reproduction • Requires two sex cells – egg and sperm -Found in humans and larger mammals • The egg and sperm join to form an entirely new organism • Different from the parent organism BUT having genetic information from both parents
IMPORTANT TO KNOW! • Asexual reproduction results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent organism (exactly the same) • Sexual reproduction results in offspring that are genetically different from the parent organisms (like characteristics). -This allows for DIVERSITY
Mendel ' s Theory of Inheritance • The focus of genetic research shifted to understanding what really happens in the transmission of hereditary traits from parents to children.

CLONING • THE FACTS…. • Cloning in biology is the process of producing similar populations of genetically identical individuals that occurs in nature when organisms such as bacteria, insects or plants reproduce asexually. • The possibility of human cloning, raised when Scottish scientists at the Roslin Institute created the much-celebrated sheep "Dolly“. 1996-2003 Now on display in Scotland
Writing AssignmentWrite a FULL response to the following question • If scientists were able to clone Dolly, they could soon want to clone humans. What are your views on cloning? What could cloning mean for the future? • In your response include- Medical Advantages & Disadvantages Ethical Concerns (is this right or wrong & why) Possible Problems
