Study Notes
Asexual Reproduction
- Asexual reproduction involves only one parent
- Offspring are genetically identical to the parent
- Occurs in lower plants
- Reproductive organs are not present
- Processes like gamete formation or fertilization are not seen
- No need for seeds
Sexual Reproduction
- Involves two parents (male and female)
- Offspring are genetically different from the parents
- Occurs in higher plants
- Reproductive parts are present
- Involves gametes (male and female) forming a zygote
- Seeds are used to develop new plants from a flower
Methods of Asexual Reproduction
- Vegetative propagation: New plants are produced from stems, leaves, or roots (e.g., rose, sugarcane, sweet potato, carrot)
- Budding: New organisms develop from the parent body as a bulb-like projection (e.g., yeast)
- Fragmentation: New organisms are formed from fragments of the parent body (e.g., spirogyra)
Spore Formation
- Many non-flowering plants (fungi and ferns) reproduce through spores
- Spores are found within the plant body
