    Study Notes

    Growth and Development

    • Growth involves an individual organism increasing in size via cell multiplication and remaining intact.

    Reproductive Processes

    • Sexual reproduction involves the production and fusion of male and female gametes.

    Asexual Reproduction

    • A type of reproduction where the offspring inherits the characteristics of the parent from one parent only.
    • Includes vegetative reproduction, where seeds are sometimes involved.

    Budding

    • A process where a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site.
    • Used by organisms such as hydra, which uses regenerative cells for reproduction.

    Disadvantages of Vegetative Reproduction

    • A major disadvantage is that it limits genetic variation.

    Binary Fission

    • A process where two daughter cells are produced inside a mother cell and consumed by the offspring prior to separation.

    Other Reproductive Processes

    • Fragmentation is the process where an organism is split into fragments upon maturation, with each fragment becoming a new individual.
    • Conjugation is NOT a form of asexual reproduction mentioned in the text.
