Asexual  Reproduction   Sexual  Reproduction  

2  
Asexual  Reproduc7on  
— Requires  only  one  parent  
— Offspring  have  100%  the  same  chromosomes  as  the  
parent.  
— In  other  words,  the  offspring  are  exact  “clones”  of  the  
parent.  
— Most  unicellular  organisms    
     reproduce  this  way.  
— Mitosis  
 

3  
Asexual  Reproduc7on  
— Binary  Fission  
— Bacteria  
— Protists  

Binary  fission  is  a  form  of  asexual  


reproduction  where  every  
organelle  is  copied  and  the  
organism  divides  in  two.  

4  
Asexual  Reproduc7on  
— Vegetative  Reproduction    

Vegetative  reproduction  is  a  type  of  asexual  


reproduction  in  plants  that  relies  on  multi-­‐
cellular  structures  formed  by  the  parent  
plant.    

5  
Asexual  Reproduc7on  
— Budding  
— Hydra  

Budding  is  a  means  of  


asexual  reproduction  
whereby  a  new  individual  
develops  from  an  
outgrowth  of  a  parent,  
splits  off,  and  lives  
independently.  

6  
Asexual  Reproduc7on  
— Fragmentation  

Fragmentation  is  a  means  of  asexual  


reproduction  whereby  a  single  
parent  breaks  into  parts  that  
regenerate  into  whole  new  
individuals.  

7  
Asexual  Reproduc7on  
— Regeneration  

Regeneration  occurs  
when  a  body  part  
has  broken  off  and  
the  organism  grows  
a  new  one.  

8  
Asexual  Reproduc7on  
— Spores  

— A  spore  is  a  specialized  cell  that  can  survive  harsh  


conditions  
— Spores  are  produced  by  one  parent    
— In  the  right  conditions,  spores  can  become  a  new  
organism  

9  
Asexual  Reproduc7on  
— Examples  of  organisms  that  reproduce  asexually  
— Hydra  
— Sea  Star  
— Strawberry  
— Archaebacteria  
— Eubacteria  
— Euglena  
— Paramecium  
— Yeast  
 
10  
Sexual  Reproduc7on  
— Requires  two  parents  that  each  share  ½  of  the  genetic  
information.  
— Offspring  share  the  characteristics  of  each  parent.  
— Meiosis  
 

11  
3  Types  of  Sexual  Reproduc7on  
— Internal  Fertilization  -­‐  Fertilization  occurs  within  the  
female.  Internal  fertilization  occurs  in  mammals,  insects,  
birds,  reptiles.  

— 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.  

— Pollination  -­‐  occurs  when  pollen  is  transferred  from  


the  anthers  to  the  female  organs  by  wind  or  by  
animals.    

12  
Sexual  Reproduc7on  
— All  the  members  of  the  Animal  
Kingdom  
— Fish  
— Mammals  
— Amphibians  
— Birds  
— Reptiles  
— Insects  
— Crustaceans  

13  

 
Sexual  Reproduc7on  
— Plant  Kingdom  
— Flowers  are  the  reproductive  organs  of  plants.  

  Male  flower   Female  flower  


— Some  flowers  have  both  male  and  female  reproductive  
organs  on  the  same  flower.  

14  
Sexual  Reproduc7on  
— Examples  of  organisms  that  reproduce  sexually  
— Chickens  
— Iguanas  
— Lobsters  
— Sharks  
— Humans  
— Butterflies  
— Sunflowers  
— Roses

Sexual  Reproduc7on  
— Happens  2  ways  
— Internally  (inside)  
— The  egg  is  fertilized  by  sperm  inside  the  female  
— Mammals,  birds,  reptiles,  insects,  spiders  

— Externally  (outside)  
— The  egg  is  fertilized  by  sperm  outside  the  female  
— The  female  lays  the  eggs  and  then  the  male  fertilizes  
them.  
— Fish  and  some  amphibians  

— Plants  and  fungi  (pollen  and  spores)
