Study Notes
Asexual Reproduction
- Involves one parent
- No sex cells are produced
- Offspring are produced by cell division
- Offspring are identical to the parent, having the same DNA
- Several types of asexual reproduction exist in plants and animals
Types of Asexual Reproduction
-
Binary Fission
- Organism divides in half
- 2 identical daughter cells are produced
- Daughter cells are half the parent's size
- Daughter cells grow and then divide too
- Occurs in bacteria
-
Budding
- A small bud grows out of the parent cell
- Two different sized cells are made, with identical DNA
- The bud breaks off and grows
- Occurs in yeast and hydra
-
Regeneration
- Involves repairing or growing lost body parts
- Leftover cells divide to make more cells
- Occurs in lobsters, starfish, and lizards
Sexual Reproduction
- Involves 2 parents
- Sex cells (sperm and egg) are produced
- Sperm and egg join during fertilization
- Offspring look different from the parents, having mixed DNA
- Examples include humans, some plants, mammals, fish, reptiles, etc.
Fertilization
- Part of the process of sexual reproduction
- A male reproductive cell and a female reproductive cell combine
- Forms a new cell that can develop into a new organism
