  1. Reproduction In Plants

  2. Reproduction is the Spice of Life DNA Cell Wall • What are the two types of reproduction? • Asexual and Sexual • What are the advantages of Asexual repro? • Quick and Easy typically done by simple organism with small circular DNA • One is enough do not require a partner • What are the advantages of Sexual repro? • Variation mixing DNA means better survival rate • Mutations increased rate of positive changes in DNA

  3. Steps of Binary Fission Cell membrane Cell Wall DNA • What type of division allows sexual reproduction to occur? • Meiosis • What type of division allows asexual reproduction to occur? • Mitosis…sort of • Binary Fission division of a simple cell through asexual reproduction • Cell grows in size; elongates cell wall • Circular DNA is replicated (organelles too) • DNA and organelles move towards opposite poles of the cell • Cytokinesis cuts cell in two

  4. Spore Formation Hypha • Do only bacteria cells reproduce asexually? • No! Fungi and some plants have an asexual part of their life cycle • Gametophyte and Sporophyte cycles: • Spores are released into the air by a sporophyte • Spores grows through mitosis to build hypha, mycelium, and sporangia (makes more spores) • Eventually a gametophyte forms and produces male and female gametes by meiosis • Gametes mix by fertilization and produce a zygote that grows into a sporophyte • Sporophyte will produce more spores through meiosis and cycle repeats Spores Gametes Fertilization Sporangia Meiosis Zygote Germinate Spores Released

  5. Potato-A-Go-Go • Which part of the potato do we eat? • The Tuber! It is the starch filled energy bank for the potato plant • How do potatoes reproduce? • With the Tuber! • Parent plant grows from tuber; Extra energy from photosynthesis is made into starch and stored in new tubers • Parent plant dies at the end of the season; tubers stay dormant underground • New plants grow from tuber “eyes” next season; tuber also acts are source of energy before leaves form • All growth is through mitosis, so all tubers are genetically identical to each other New Plant “Eye”
