Study Notes
Asexual Reproduction
- Offspring comes from a single parent
- Exact copy of parent's genes
- Does not involve the union of gametes (sperm and egg)
- Offspring is similar or identical to parent
- Very common in plants; less common in animals
Budding (Blastogenesis)
- New organism develops from an outgrowth or bud
- Cell division at specific site
- Bud forms a small group of cells on the side of parent
Kingdom Fungi
- Heterotrophic: obtain nourishment by absorbing small food molecules
Phylum Zygomycota
- Example: Rhizopus (common bread mold)
- Asexual reproduction by releasing spores from sporangia
Phylum Basidiomycota
- Example: Mushrooms
- Important group; many are edible
Phylum Ascomycota
- Not further detailed in the image
