Reproduction is the process by whic
h plants and animals give rise to offsp
ring and which fundamentally consists o
f the segregation of a portion of the p
arental body by a sexual or an asexual
process and its subsequent growth and d
ifferentiation into a new individual

Importance: The main significance
of reproduction is to maintain conti
nuity of species. It also helps in stu
dying evolution as sexual reproduc
tion results in variation among the
species.

Asexual Reproduction

CO
RE
Asexual reproduction is defined as the formation of new
individuals from the cells of a single parent. This is very
common in plants less common in animals. Asexual
reproduction does not involve the union of gametes
(sperm cell and egg cell) and it does not change the
number of chromosomes present. The resulting offspring
is similar or identical to the parent and without the need
for a mate, they are able to reproduce. There are different
types of asexual reproduction in animals.

Types of Asexual Reproduction

CO
RE
Spore Formation - the organism breaks up into a number of pieces, or spores,
each of which eventually develops into an organism like the parent form.
Budding - Process outgrowth or callus projecting from the parent and
eventually buds off
Fission - the division of a single entity into two or more parts and the
regeneration of those parts to separate entities resembling the original.
Regeneration - the process of renewal, restoration, and tissue growth that
makes genomes, cells, organisms, and ecosystems
Fragmentation - Pieces of the parent breaks off and develops into a new
animal
Vegetative Propagation - form of asexual reproduction occurring in plants in
which a new plant grows from a fragment of the parent plant or a
specialized reproductive structure.

tion

1. Requires minimum energy requirements

2. Occurs at a faster pace compared to sexual
reproduction
3. Can take place in various environments
4. A mate is not required for reproduction
5. Entities mature rapidly and offered with a defensive
mechanism
6. With this type of reproduction, crop losses can be
stabilized

4. Oviparous animals that lay their eggs, with little or no
other embryonic development within the parent.
5. Viviparous animals bringing forth live young that hav
e developed inside the body of the parent.
6. Asexual reproduction requires only one parent while
sexual reproduction requires two parents.
