• AsexualReproductiona type of reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes or change in the number of chromosomes. The offspring that arise by asexual reproduction from either unicellular or multicellular organisms inherit the full set of genes of their single parent.
EXAMPLES:
• Bacterium undergoes binary fission in which the cell divides into two along with the nucleus.
•Blackworms or mudworms reproduce through fragmentation.
•Hydras reproduce through budding.
•Organisms such as copperheads undergo parthenogenesis.
DEFINITION:
• SexualReproduction, the production of new organisms by the combination of genetic information of two individuals of different sexes. In most species the genetic
EXAMPLES:
• During sexual reproduction, the male gamete (sperm) may be placed inside the female's body for internal fertilization, or the sperm and eggs may be released into the environment for external fertilization. Humans provide an example of the former, while seahorses provide an example of the latter.
DEFINITION:
• Fertilization, syngamy and impregnation, is the fusion of gametes to give rise to a new individual organism or offspring and initiate its development.
EXAMPLES:
• Sexual reproduction starts with the combination of a sperm and an egg in a process called fertilization. This can occur either inside (internal fertilization) or outside (external fertilization) the body of the female. Humans provide an example of the former whereas seahorse reproduction is an example of the latter.
DEFINITION;
• BinaryFission, asexual reproduction by a separation of the body into two new bodies. In the process of binary fission, an organism duplicates its genetic material, or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and then divides into two parts (cytokinesis), with each new organism receiving one copy of DNA.
EXAMPLES:
• Organisms that reproduce by binary fission include Bacillus subtilis, B. cereus, B. pumilus, Escherichia coli, Clostridium perfringens, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Amoeba, Paramecium, Euglena, Ceratium,etc.
DEFINITION:
• Buddingis 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.
EXAMPLES:
• Budding is a type of asexual reproduction, which is most commonly associated in both multicellular and unicellular organisms. Bacteria, yeast, corals, flatworms, Jellyfish and sea anemones are some animal species which reproduce through budding.
DEFINITION:
• SporeFormation is a method in Asexual Reproduction. ... When Sporangia burst; minute single-celled, thin or thick walled structures called spores are obtained. Under suitable conditions, they develop into a new Plant. Reproducing using spores is an asexual method.
EXAMPLES:
• Fungi like Rhizopus, Mucor, etc., are examples of spore formation. This is a common bread mould plant or rhizopus fungus. It reproduces by forming spores. Regeneration is an asexual method of reproduction.
DEFINITION:
• VegetativeReproduction is any form of asexual reproduction occurring in plants in which a new plant grows from a fragment or cutting of the parent plant or a specialized reproductive structure. Many plants naturally reproduce this way, but it can also be induced artificially.
EXAMPLES:
• Examples include the formation of plantlets on specialized leaves (e.g. kalanchoe), the growth of new plants out of rhizomes or stolons (e.g. strawberry), or the formation of new bulbs (e.g. tulips).
DEFINITION:
• Fragmentation in multicellular or colonial organisms is a form of asexual reproduction or cloning, where an organism is split into fragments. Each of these fragments develop into mature, fully grown individuals that are clones of the original organism.
EXAMPLES:
• Fragmentation is observed in nonvascular plants as well, for example, in liverworts and mosses. Small pieces of moss "stems" or "leaves" are often scattered by the wind, water or animals. If a moss fragment reaches a suitable environment, it can establish a new plant.
