Study Notes
Asexual Reproduction
- Endogenous budding involves a bud growing out of a parent's internal structure.
- Fragmentation in sea stars requires at least one arm with a portion of the central disc to regenerate into a new individual.
- Asexual reproduction results in an offspring that is an exact copy of its parent, also known as a clone.
Sexual Reproduction
- Syngamy involves the genetic material from the egg cell combining with that from the sperm to produce an offspring that is the same and yet different from its parents.
