  2. Asexual vs. Sexual Reproduction

  3. Asexual reproduction • A form of reproduction which does not involve meiosis or fertilization. • Asexual reproduction = one parent. • The primary form of reproduction for single-celled organisms such as archaea, bacteria, and protists. • Many plants and fungi reproduce mostly asexually as well.

  4. Sexual Reproduction • Results in increasing genetic diversity of the offspring. • Characterized by two processes: • meiosis, halving of the number of chromosomes • fertilization, combination of two gametes and the restoration of the original number of chromosomes • During meiosis, chromosomes usually cross over = genetic recombination. • Primary method of reproduction for the vast majority of visible organisms, including almost all animals and plants.

  5. Binary Fission • Asexual • Cell splits and replicated DNA goes with each part • Prokaryotes, Bacteria • + Fast and easy • - Everybody has the same DNA

  6. Bacterial Conjugation • Asexual, “Sexual” • A bacteria shoots out a tube and sends a piece of its DNA to another bacteria • Bacteria • + Mixes DNA • - “Parent” loses a little piece of DNA

  7. Fragmentation/ regeneration • Asexual • Body of parent breaks and produces offspring • Fungi, moss, sea stars, planarian • + Easy • - Parent broken, same DNA

  8. Fragmentation/ regeneration Moss

  9. Budding • Asexual • Offspring grows out of parent • Yeast, hydras • + Fast, somewhat easy • - Same DNA

  10. Pollination • Sexual • Pollen is delivered to female part of plant • Flowering plants • + Plants don’t have to move, mixes DNA • - Need external source for pollination to take place; wind, bee, bat, butterfly etc.

  11. Pollination

  12. Sexual Reproduction • Sexual • DNA from 2 individuals merge to form one • Animals, Plants • + Diverse DNA • - Takes a long time, 2 individuals needed

  13. Sexual Reproduction

  14. Foldable • Using your notes you will form a foldable to show understanding of asexual reproduction • Color pictures, cut out and glue into foldable • Describe each type of asexual reproduction pictured.
