Study Notes
Reproduction and Development
- Sexual reproduction enables continuity of species, generation after generation, ensuring genetic diversity and adaptation to changing environments.
Asexual Reproduction
- Asexual reproduction refers to the type where only a single organism gives rise to a new individual, without the involvement of gametes or the fusion of nuclei.
Prokaryotic Reproduction
- Binary fission, a type of asexual reproduction, occurs mostly in prokaryotic microorganisms and single-celled organisms, where the cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
Fragmentation
- Fragmentation is a type of asexual reproduction that occurs when an organism appears to split itself into two parts and regenerate the missing parts of each new organism.
Embryology
- Embryology is the branch of biology concerned with the development of embryos, from fertilization to birth, studying the formation and growth of an organism from a single cell to a fully formed individual.
