What are the original colors of roses? The students will answer (answers
B may vary).
Roses are typically only grown in red,
white, or yellow. Any other colors would
occur by using dyes.
New genetic engineering has allowed
for blue roses, however.

C. LESSON PROPER

Now everyone, please turn your books The students comply.
to page 134.

All living things have a limited lifespan The students will answer (answers
and die sooner or later. So they may vary).
produce young ones like themselves REPRODUCTION
during their lifetime so that their
species may not die out. What do you
think this process is called?

Correct! REPRODUCTION is the

ability of an organism to produce new
individuals is one of the characteristics
that distinguish living things from non-
living things.
In order to continue their own kind, The students will answer (answers
organisms must reproduce. may vary).
Reproduction has two modes or types. ASEXUAL reproduction
What is the type of reproduction
wherein a new individual organism,
called an offspring, is produced from a
SINGLE parent?

Very good. What about when the mode The students will answer (answers
of reproduction involves TWO parents may vary).
to produce new individual organisms? SEXUAL reproduction.

Correct! There are actually several

ways by which organisms reproduce
asexually and sexually. In Asexual
Reproduction, the parent and the
resulting offspring have the same
genes that contain the same traits
which make the parent and the
offspring genetically identical.
Asexual reproduction is natural
“cloning”.

One type of asexual reproduction The students will answer (answers

involves parts of the plant, such as may vary).
leaves or stems, to produce roots and VEGETATIVE REPRODUCTION
become an independent plant. This is
called what?

Yes, that is right. This is how

economically important plants such as
potatoes are propagated. Another
example is the medicinal plant
Kalanchoe, which reproduce through
its leaves by growing new individual
“plantlets” around the leaf margin.

Why is it that we use vegetative The students will answer (answers

propagation to grow plants? may vary).
Because this type results in plants that
reach maturity faster than plants grown
from seeds. It also enables the good
agricultural traits from one plant such
as taste, yield and resistance to pests
be passed on from generation to
generation. One disadvantage of this is
that if environmental conditions are
unfavorable, it may result to the whole
population being wiped out.

Let us now look at the other types of

asexual reproduction by having a
group activity.
 I want you to count of to 4 and then Students will count off to 4 and then
group yourselves according to your group themselves accordingly.
number.

Okay now pick 1 group leader and 1

secretary while I distribute to each
group a marker and manila paper. Students comply.

All group leaders please come forward

and pick a topic.

After picking your topic, I want each

group to do a brainstorming in
answering the table shown on the
PowerPoint slide. You will be given
time to discuss and write your answers
on the manila paper provided which
you will then present in front of the
class.

Turn to page 139-140 as your guide in

answering. Okay begin.

(After allotted time students will

present their work to the whole class)

asexual?
a. 2
b. 4
