Study Notes
Sexual Reproduction
- Sexual reproduction is most common in multicellular organisms.
- A gamete is a reproductive cell, either a sperm or an egg, that fuses with another gamete to form a zygote.
Sexual Reproduction Process
- When two gametes combine in sexual reproduction, they form a zygote with a unique combination of genetic material.
Analogous to Sexual Reproduction in Bacteria
- Conjugation, where two bacteria exchange genetic material, is considered analogous to sexual reproduction.
Organisms Without Sexual Reproduction
- Some organisms, including some plants and fungi, do not undergo sexual reproduction.
Primary Form of Reproduction for Single-Celled Organisms
- The primary form of reproduction for single-celled organisms such as archaea and bacteria is asexual reproduction.
Type of Reproduction Involving Gamete Fusion
- Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes.
Asexual Reproduction in Vertebrates
- In vertebrates, the most common form of asexual reproduction is budding or fragmentation.
Inheritance in Asexual Reproduction
- Offspring produced by asexual reproduction inherit a complete set of genetic material from their single parent, resulting in genetically identical offspring.
Organisms Capable of Asexual Reproduction
- In addition to single-celled organisms like archaea and bacteria, some multicellular organisms, such as starfish and some plants, can reproduce asexually.
