  1. Methods of Reproduction Sexual and Asexual Reproduction

  2. Do Now : • During which phase do chromosome first become visible?1. Interphase 2. telophase 3. metaphase 4. prophase • A cell with 10 chromosomes undergoes mitosis. How many daughter cells are created? ___ Each daughter cell has ___ chromosomes. A. 2, 10 B.10, 2 C. 1, 10 D. 2, 20

  3. Asexual Reproduction: requires only 1 parent and the offspring are an exact copy of the parent---a clone

  4. Asexual Reproduction: • Organisms that reproduce asexually cannot develop much variety, because they are “copying” the original organism exactly.

  5. Methods of asexual reproduction: Binary fission Budding Fragmentation Parthenogenesis

  6. Single-celled organisms (Amoeba, paramecium, euglena) which use asexual reproduction can do so simply by dividing into two equal halves. This is called binary fission. Binary fission

  7. When conditions are good, such as plenty of water, food, right temperatures, etc., binary fission is a very effective way of producing many, many offspring. • For example, the cell of a Paramecium can divide, grow, and divide again in the space of 8 hours.

  8. Budding- an offspring grows out of the body of the parent. Hydra Budding offspring Cactus Budding

  9. In yeasts the cell does not divide equally in two halves; instead, there is a large mother cell and a smaller daughter cell. Budding Yeast - budding

  10. Fragmentation In this form, the body of the parent breaks into distinct pieces, each of which can produce an offspring. Pieces of coral broken off in storms can grow into new colonies. A new starfish can grow from one detached arm.

  11. Fragmentation- plant cuttings Some plants can grow from cutting them up and replanting them.

  12. Green plants are quite sophisticated in their methods of asexual reproduction. Offspring may be produced by runners, bulbs, rhizomes or tubers.

  13. Parthenogenesis Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction in which females produce eggs that develop without fertilization. Parthenogenesis is seen to occur naturally in some invertebrates, along with several fish, amphibians, and reptiles as well as in many plants. There are no known cases of parthenogenesis in mammals.

  14. What is sexual reproduction? • Requiring 2 parents • male and female (egg & sperm) • The egg and sperm (Gametes) join together to form a Zygote, an entirely new organism • Offspring are genetically different from the parent organism.

  15. Germ cells – cells that are specialized for sexual reproduction. The only cells that can produce gametes. Somatic cells – all other body cells

  16. Sexual Reproduction: Requiring 2 parents (egg & sperm) Combining different genetic material

  17. Methods of sexual reproduction: Pollination External Fertilization Internal Fertilization

  18. Pollen is produced in the male organs of the flowers - anthers. Pollination occurs when pollen is transferred from the anthers to the female organs by wind or by animals. If the female stigma is receptive to a pollen grain, the pollen produces a pollen tube, which grows through the female tissue to the egg, where fertilization takes place by the sperm nucleus. Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants

  19. External Fertilization • External fertilization usually requires a medium such as water, which the sperms can use to swim towards the egg cell. External fertilization usually occur in fish and amphibians. • The females lay the eggs in the water and the male squirts the sperm in the same area.

  20. Internal Fertilization • Fertilization occurs within the female. • Internal fertilization occurs in mammals, insects, birds, reptiles. • Mammals (gorillas, lions, elephants, rats, zebras, and dolphins have live births) • Insects, birds, reptiles lay eggs

  21. Sexual Reproduction • Sexual reproduction produces a greater chance of variation within a species than asexual reproduction would. • This variation improves the chances that a species will adapt to his environment and survive.

  22. Chromosome Number • Each species has a characteristic number of chromosomes. • In humans , each cell has two copies of 23 chromosomes for a total of 46. • The gametes ( a sperm and an egg cells) have only one copy of each chromosomes -23 total. When combined together they form zygote with 46 chromosomes.

  23. Diploid cell- is a cell such as a somatic cell , that has two sets of chromosomes. (46 chromosomes for humans) = 2n Haploid cell – a cell such as a gamete (sperm or egg cell) , that has only one set of chromosomes (23 total in humans) = n

  24. Each diploid cell has pairs of chromosomes made up of two Homologous Chromosomes. Homologous Chromosomes are similar in size, in shape, and in kinds of genes they contain.

  25. Sexual vs. Asexual Reproduction • Asexual reproduction results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent organism. • Sexual reproduction results in offspring that are genetically different from the parent organisms.

  26. Review • What kind of cells do germ cells produce? • Compare and contrast sexual and asexual reproduction.
