Study Notes
Sexual Reproduction
- Sexual reproduction involves two parents contributing genetic material, resulting in offspring with a unique combination of genes.
Asexual Reproduction
- A major benefit of asexual reproduction is rapid population growth, as a single parent can produce numerous offspring.
Fragmentation
- Fragmentation, a type of asexual reproduction, is commonly seen in organisms like starfish and some plants. In fragmentation, a parent organism breaks into fragments, each capable of developing into a new individual.
Asexual Reproduction
- Asexual reproduction is the process where a single organism can produce offspring without fertilization, relying on the parent's genetic material alone.
Spore Formation
- Spore formation is a reproductive strategy that allows organisms to survive unfavorable conditions. Spores are durable structures that can withstand harsh environments and germinate when conditions become favorable.
