Good Morning!

• What are the importance of

beneficial microorganism in
our daily lives?
• Why do we need to avoid
the harmful
microorganism?

Q1. Class what can
you say about the
video?
Q2. What is asexual
reproduction?
Asexual reproduction
involves one parent
and produces offspring
that are genetically
identical to each other
and to the parent.
Q3. What are different
types of asexual
reproduction?
1. binary fission
2. budding
3. fragmentation
4. spore formation
5. vegetative reproduction
1. Binary fission
A single parent cell
divides into two daughter
cells. E.g. amoeba,
paramecium and
bacteria.
2. Budding
Parent cell produces
bud, it gets detached
and develops into new
individual
3. Fragmentation
Organism with
filamentous body, break
into two or more
fragments. Each
fragment grows into a
new individual
4. Spore Formation
Reproduce by forming
spores. Under
favourable conditions
spores develop into
new individuals
5. Vegetative
Reproduction
Organism produces new
individuals by a
vegetative part of the
plant
Q4. What is sexual
reproduction?
Sexual reproduction is
the process in which new
organisms are created by
combining the genetic
information from two
individuals of different
sexes.
Activity
• Q1. Differentiate
asexual reproduction
from sexual
reproduction.
• Q2. What are the
advantages of asexual
reproduction?
Advantages of asexual
reproduction
1. The energy
requirements for
reproduction are minimal
2. It can occur in various
environments
3. It allows for species
survival
4. Positive genetic
influences are
guaranteed to be passed
to the next generation
5. Multiple forms of
asexual reproduction
are available
6. Only one organism
is required to establish
a colony
7. It provides a
defensive mechanism
8. In plant organisms,
asexual reproduction
eliminates the need for
seeds
9. Crop losses can be
balanced with this
reproduction method
10. Maturity is rapid
• Q3. What are the
disadvantages of
asexual reproduction?
Disadvantages of asexual
reproduction
1. Negative mutations
linger longer in asexual
organisms
2. Diversity is limited
3. Population numbers
can be difficult to
control
4. There can be an
inability to adapt
5. Overcrowding can be
a real issue
6. Reproduction can
create competition
7. Once change can
eliminate an entire
species
8. Pest resistance is
minimal with asexual
reproduction
9. Asexual organisms
typically have lower
lifespans
10. It is an expensive
process
• Q4. What are the
advantages of sexual
reproduction?
Advantages of sexual
reproduction
1. It creates genetic
diversity within a species
2. There is a natural level of
disease resistance
throughout the species
3. Genetic variation can
lead to evolutionary
advancements
4. It is a rewarding
experience
5. It can encourage the
growth of brain cells
6. It improves health
• Q5. What are the
disadvantages of
sexual reproduction?
Disadvantages of sexual
reproduction?
1. It takes time and energy
to find a mate and
reproduce
2. Reproduction through
sexual means is uncertain
3. Favourable genetics
might not be passed to
the offspring
4. Fewer offspring are
typically produced
5. It can be deadly
Definition on
screen
1. It is the process in
which new organisms
are created by
combining the genetic
information from two
individuals of different
sexes.
1. Sexual
reproduction
2. It is a type of reproduction
by which offspring arise from
single organism and inherit
the genes of that parent
only. It does not involve the
fusion gametes and almost
never changes the number
of chromosomes.

the plant.
7. Vegetative
reproduction

words are belong it’s either
on sexual or asexual
reproduction column.
