  1. Notes on mitosis & Meiosis

  2. Reproduction Reproduction - is the act or process of producing babies, young animals, or plants. Living things reproduceto make young plants or animals.

  3. Questions for discussion: • Do all organisms reproduce? • Do all organisms reproduce in the same way?

  4. Types of Reproduction • Asexual - one parent • Sexual - two parents

  5. Asexual reproduction: a type of reproduction in which a new organism is produced from one parent and has thesameDNA or genetic material as the parent. Spider plant offspring Yeast cells dividing (budding)

  6. How do little elephants grow up to be BIG elephants?

  7. Why do animals shed their skin?

  8. The process of asexual reproduction begins after fertilization. (after a sperm fertilizes an egg).

  9. Three reasons why cells reproduce by asexual reproduction: 1. Growth 2. Repair 3. Replacement Skin cancer - the abnormal growth of skin cells - most often develops on skin exposed to the sun. Cell that reproduce by asexual reproduction reproduce constantly.

  10. Animated Mitosis Cycle http://www.cellsalive.com/mitosis.htm • Interphase • Prophase • Metaphase • Anaphase • Telophase & Cytokinesis

  11. Animal Mitosis -- Review

  12. Plant Mitosis -- Review

  13. Sexual reproduction: a type of reproduction in which two cells, usually an egg and a sperm join to form a zygote, which develops into a new organism with its own genetic identity. Animal Plant

  14. Meiosis Cycle

  15. Question for discussion: • Can you think of other organisms that reproduce through asexual or sexual reproduction?

  16. Asexual ReproductionExamples

  17. A whole new starfish can grow from a single arm that was cut off a starfish organism. • A planarian is a tiny flatworm that lives in ponds. If a planarian is cut into pieces, each piece will grow into a new planarian. • Yeast are one-celled organisms that produce offspring from a bulge that forms and breaks away from the parent.

  18. A paramecium is a one-celled organism that reproduces by splitting in half to become two new cells. • An ivy plant will reproduce a whole new plant if a piece of stem and leaf is placed into water or soil.
