Correct me if I am wrong • Reproduction is not essential for the survival of an organism
reproduction • Ability to produce new off springs to ensure continuity of one’s species.
Difference between sexual Asexual • A single parent • Off spring is identical to parent. • Fast process. • Eg: (bacteria and fungus) • 2 parents a male and a female • Off springs are not identical to parents. (variation) • Slow process • Most animals and plants
1. Binary fission A type of a sexual reproduction involves the splitting of a parent cell into two It happens in amoeba and bacteria like E.coli bacteria
2) BUDDING As shown in the diagram by a hydra a bud starts to form grows and then splits from the parent . Falls on appropriate medium starts to grow to an identical organism
3) spores Mushroom has a spore sac that bursts releasing spores when these spores fall on appropriate medium they start to grow into a new mushroom identical to the parent
4) Tubular formation The eye shown in the image when placed in appropriate medium will sprout forming new potatoes
