Study Notes
Methods of Reproduction in Organisms
- Reproduction is essential for the continuation of species and maintenance of life.
- Organisms have two methods of reproduction: asexual and sexual.
- Asexual reproduction produces genetically identical progeny from a single organism.
- Asexual reproduction methods include fragmentation, budding, spore formation, binary fission, conidia formation, and gemma formation.
- Vegetative propagation in plants occurs through roots, leaves, and stems, and new plants formed are genetically identical to their parents.
- Artificial methods such as cutting and grafting are used to propagate desired plant varieties in agriculture and horticulture.
- Sexual reproduction involves fusion of two compatible gametes and marks the beginning of the reproductive phase in plants.
- The flower is a specialized reproductive structure in plants where sexual reproduction occurs.
- Sexual reproduction involves two major events: meiosis and fusion of gametes to form diploid zygote.
- The production of genetically dissimilar offspring through sexual reproduction allows for useful variations and evolution of species over time.
- The sequential events of sexual reproduction are grouped into three distinct stages: pre-fertilization, fertilization, and post-fertilization.
- Sexual reproduction is characterized by the fusion of male and female gametes, the formation of zygote, and embryogenesis.
