Asexual Reproduction
Asexual Reproduction is a result of Meiotic Cell Division.
Parent cells divide into two identical daughter cells.
In Asexual reproduction the offspring are genetically identical to the
original.
In Asexual Reproduction there are no fusing off cells.
Unicellular Plants And Multi-cellular Plants can reproduce both
sexually and asexually.
Asexual Reproduction is not as complex and requires far less
energy.
Different Types of asexual reproduction are: Binary Fission,
Budding, Sporulation, Regeneration, Vegetative Propagation and
Cloning.

Binary Fission
Simplest type of asexual
reproduction.
Binary Fission involves a
one celled organism.
Binary Fission produces
new daughter cells.
Binary Fission begins with
DNA but doesnt exchange
genetic info.
The cells become an exact
replication of each other.
Budding
This is when a child grows
out of the parent.
Hydras and yeast are
examples of budding.
When the cell splits off the
nucleus divides equally but
its cytoplasm divides
unequally.
The parent and child could
stay connected and form a
colony or separate.
Sporulation
Spores contain a nucleus
and a small amount
cytoplasm.
Sporulation sprouts out of
decaying materials
releasing spores to make
more sprouts.
Some examples are bread
mold, mushrooms, mosses
and ferns.

Regeneration
Development of a new
organism from a peace of a
new parent.
Also helps with replacement of
body parts.
Some examples of
regeneration are sponges and
plantaria.
So if a starfish gets a leg torn
off it can be made into a new
starfish.



Vegetative Propagation
It is when a part of a plant grows
into a new plant.
Everything but seed reproduction
is considered vegetative
propagation.
Vegetative propagation can occur
naturally or unnaturally.
Types of natural vegetative
propagation are tubers, runner,
rhizomes and bulbs.
Types of unnatural vegetative
propagation are cuttings and
grafting.
Vegetative Propagation
Runners
Stems grow on top and across the
ground from the existing stem.
From the runner new plants grow
Some examples are strawberries
and some grasses.
Bulbs
Underground stems for food
storage
Food stored in large leafs
Each bulb develops into a new
plant.
One example of bulbs are onions.

Vegetative Propagation
Tubers
Underground stems that contain
stored food.
The eyes of potato can develop
into new plants.
Potato are one example of tubers.
Rhizomes
Long modified stems that grow
horizontally under the ground.
New plants grow off the roots.
Long grasses, ferns, and irises are
examples of rhizomes.
Vegetative Propagation
Cuttings
Pieces of a root or stem that in
certain conditions are made into
new plants.
Some examples are bananas, roses
and sugar cane
Grafting
Taking a part of a plant and
connecting it to another one.
Combining the two plants.
Some examples are seedless
oranges and grapes.
