Study Notes
Types of Reproduction
- Two categories of reproduction are mentioned in the text.
Asexual Reproduction
- The method of asexual reproduction involving the production of one or more outgrowths (buds) during favourable conditions is called budding.
- The process resulting in the production of genetically identical progeny from a single organism is called asexual reproduction.
Reproduction in Chlamydomonas
- In Chlamydomonas, reproduction occurs through flagellated, motile zoospores that can grow independently into new individuals.
Plant Propagation Methods
- The method of asexual reproduction in plants where parts of two plants are joined so that they grow as one plant is called grafting.
- The plant propagation method involving the use of a small piece of any vegetative part of a plant with one or more buds is called vegetative propagation.
- The term for the method of plant propagation in which only one bud is joined onto the stock plant is called budding.
- The method of vegetative reproduction involving the use of a small amount of plant tissue is called tissue culture.
Significance of Vegetative Reproduction
- Agriculture and horticulture exploit vegetative reproduction because it allows for the production of genetically identical offspring with desirable traits.
