Answers & Comments
Answer:
Explanation:
1. Asexual reproduction does not involve the union of gametes. It is a technique in which an individual creates offspring without the intervention of another individual of the same species.
2. Fission, fragmentation, budding, vegetative reproduction, spore formation and agamogenesis.
3. Runners, corms, bulbs, tubers and rhizomes.
4. By binary fission, bacteria replicate. The bacterium, which is a single cell, divides into two identical daughter cells in this process. Then the bacterial cell elongates and divides into two daughter cells, each with the same DNA as the parent cell.
5. A severed limb will, in this case, become an entire organism, creating an entirely new starfish. With the purpose of reproducing, certain types of starfish may remove their own arms without harm.
6. Budding is a form of asexual reproduction in which, due to cell division at one specific location, a new organism emerges from an outgrowth or bud. These buds grow into tiny individuals and split from the parent body and become new adult individuals until they are fully mature.
Answer:
1. the production of new living organisms by combining genetic information from two individuals of different types (sexes). In most higher organisms, one sex (male) produces a small motile gamete which travels to fuse with a larger stationary gamete produced by the other (female).
2. There are a number of types of asexual reproduction including fission, fragmentation, budding, vegetative reproduction, spore formation and agamogenesis.
4. Bacteria reproduce by binary fission. In this process the bacterium, which is a single cell, divides into two identical daughter cells. ... The bacterial cell then elongates and splits into two daughter cells each with identical DNA to the parent cell.
5. It takes around a year for the missing arm to fully regrow, but that is not all. The severed limb, provided it has not been eaten and split from the starfish taking a portion of the central disc with it, is capable of the Lazarus-like feat of regrowing an entire body.
6. Budding is a type of asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site. ... These buds develop into tiny individuals and, when fully mature, detach from the parent body and become new independent individuals.
