Types of Reproduction

Explore the types of reproduction - asexual and sexual - and their significance in ensuring the continuity of species. Asexual reproduction includes budding, regeneration, and fission, while sexual reproduction involves the union of egg and sperm to create genetically diverse offspring.

  1. Types of Reproduction Asexual Sexual

  2. Purpose of Reproduction • To make sure a species can continue. • Definition: Reproduction is the process by which an organism produces others of its same kind.

  3. Asexual Reproduction • A new organism (sometimes more than one) is produced from one organism. • The offspring will have hereditary material uniform with the hereditary material of the parent organism. This means they will be genetically alike.

  4. Types of Asexual Reproduction • Budding • Regeneration • Fission (Binary fission)

  5. Budding • Process by which a new, duplicate plant or animal begins to form at the side of the parent and enlarges until an individual is created. • Very common in plants;

  8. Regeneration • The ability to restore lost or damaged tissues, organs or limbs. • It is a common feature in invertebrates, like worms and starfish.

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

  14. Sexual Reproduction • Requires two sex cells – egg and sperm • The egg and sperm join to form an entirely new organism • Different from the parent organism

  15. IMPORTANT! • 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
