Study Notes
Reproduction
- Reproduction is a necessary life process for the continuation of life by producing offspring that are genetically similar to parents.
Modes of Reproduction
- There are two forms of reproduction: asexual and sexual reproduction.
Asexual Reproduction
- Asexual reproduction involves one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent without involving male and female gametes.
- Types of asexual reproduction include:
- Fission
- Budding
- Fragmentation
- Parthenogenesis
- Regeneration
- Vegetative Propagation
- Sporogenesis
Fission
- Fission is a type of asexual reproduction where an organism divides into two or more daughter cells, and each cell develops into a new organism.
- Types of fission include:
- Binary fission (parent cell divides into two daughter cells)
- Multiple fission (parent cell divides into many daughter cells)
- Examples of organisms that reproduce by fission include:
- Bacteria
- Paramecium (single-celled organisms)
Budding
- Budding is a type of asexual reproduction where a new organism develops as an outgrowth or bud due to cell division from one particular site of the parent body.
- At maturity, the bud detaches from the parent body and becomes an independent individual.
- Examples of organisms that reproduce by budding include:
- Yeast
- Hydra
Fragmentation
- Fragmentation is a type of asexual reproduction where a filamentous organism splits into pieces, and each fragment develops into a mature organism.
- Examples of organisms that reproduce by fragmentation include:
- Spirogyra
- Lichens
- Flatworms
Parthenogenesis
- Parthenogenesis is the process of development of young ones from unfertilized gametes.
