Study Notes

Asexual Reproduction

A characteristic of asexual reproduction is that it produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.
Organisms that primarily reproduce asexually include bacteria, archaea, and some single-celled eukaryotes.

Lateral Gene Transfer

Conjugation is a mechanism for lateral gene transfer that can be likened to sexual reproduction in prokaryotes.

Asexual Reproduction in Vertebrates

The most common form of asexual reproduction in vertebrates is parthenogenesis, which occurs in some species of fish, reptiles, and amphibians.

Genetic Similarity

The result of asexual reproduction is offspring that are genetically identical to the parent, resulting in no genetic variation.

Hydra

Hydra is an example of an organism that can reproduce asexually through a process called budding.
