Study Notes
Asexual Reproduction
- The primary form of reproduction for single-celled organisms like archaea and bacteria is asexual reproduction.
Inheritance of Genes
- In asexual reproduction, offspring inherit genes from their parent through direct replication of DNA.
Asexual Reproduction in Vertebrates
- The most common form of asexual reproduction in vertebrates is parthenogenesis.
- Parthenogenesis is used by some vertebrates as an alternative to sexual reproduction in times when reproductive opportunities are limited.
Organisms that can Reproduce Asexually
- Single-celled organisms like archaea and bacteria can reproduce asexually.
- Some vertebrates, such as certain species of fish, amphibians, and reptiles, can also reproduce asexually.
Characteristics of Asexual Reproduction
- Asexual reproduction does not involve the fusion of gametes or change in the number of chromosomes.
