Study Notes
Sexual Reproduction
- Sexual reproduction involves the production and fusion of male and female gametes.
Characteristics of Asexual Reproduction
- Asexual reproduction in plants is characteristic of producing offspring genetically identical to the parent.
- This type of reproduction involves a single parent and does not involve the fusion of gametes.
Types of Asexual Reproduction
- Vegetative propagation is a type of asexual reproduction where a vegetative piece of the original plant produces new individuals.
Organisms that Reproduce Asexually
- Prokaryotes primarily reproduce asexually through binary fission.
- Some eukaryotic organisms, such as yeast and some protists, can reproduce asexually.
Inheritance in Asexual Reproduction
- In asexual reproduction, the offspring inherit the full set of genes from the single parent.
Lateral Gene Transfer
- Mechanisms for lateral gene transfer, such as transformation, conjugation, and transduction, can be likened to sexual reproduction in prokaryotes.
