Study Notes
Asexual Reproduction
- The most common form of asexual reproduction in vertebrates is budding, used as an alternative to sexual reproduction.
- Single-celled organisms such as archaea and bacteria primarily reproduce through binary fission, a form of asexual reproduction.
- Organisms that can reproduce asexually include single-celled organisms like bacteria and archaea, as well as some invertebrates like Hydra and Flatworms.
- Offspring in asexual reproduction inherit an exact genetic copy of their parent's genetic material, as they are genetically identical.
Differences Between Asexual and Sexual Reproduction
- The primary difference between asexual and sexual reproduction is the production of genetically identical or diverse offspring, with asexual reproduction producing identical offspring and sexual reproduction producing diverse offspring.
