2Asexual vs. Sexual Reproduction
3Asexual reproduction
- A form of reproduction which does not involve
meiosis or fertilization. - Asexual reproduction one parent.
- The primary form of reproduction for
single-celled organisms such as archaea,
bacteria, and protists. - Many plants and fungi reproduce mostly asexually
as well.
4Sexual Reproduction
- Results in increasing genetic diversity of the
offspring. - Characterized by two processes
- meiosis, halving of the number of chromosomes
- fertilization, combination of two gametes and the
restoration of the original number of chromosomes - During meiosis, chromosomes usually cross over
genetic recombination. - Primary method of reproduction for the vast
majority of visible organisms, including almost
all animals and plants.
5Binary Fission
- Asexual
- Cell splits and replicated DNA goes with each
part - Prokaryotes, Bacteria
- Fast and easy
- - Everybody has the same DNA
6Bacterial Conjugation
- Asexual, Sexual
- A bacteria shoots out a tube and sends a piece of
its DNA to another bacteria - Bacteria
- Mixes DNA
- - Parent loses a little piece of DNA
7Fragmentation/ regeneration
- Asexual
- Body of parent breaks and produces offspring
- Fungi, moss, sea stars, planarian
- Easy
- - Parent broken, same DNA
8Fragmentation/ regeneration
Moss
9Budding
- Asexual
- Offspring grows out of parent
- Yeast, hydras
- Fast, somewhat easy
- - Same DNA
10Pollination
- Sexual
- Pollen is delivered to female part of plant
- Flowering plants
- Plants dont have to move, mixes DNA
- - Need external source for pollination to take
place wind, bee, bat, butterfly etc.
11Pollination
12Sexual Reproduction
- Sexual
- DNA from 2 individuals merge to form one
- Animals, Plants
- Diverse DNA
- - Takes a long time, 2 individuals needed
