Asexual Reproduction

A change in the number of cells/individuals without a

change in the genetic state of the cells

Cellular basis - Mitosis

Mitosis - process by which the number of cells is increased

without changing the number of chromosomes in the cell
 Types of Asexual
Reproduction
1. Mitosis - is the exact
duplication of the
nucleus of a cell so
as to form two
identical nuclei
during cell division.

ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION

BINARY FISSION
Definition Binary
Fussion

•Binary Fussion =
asingle-celled organism divides

into two cells of the same size.

•Each is identical to the

Other
 occurs in one-celled
organisms such as the
ameba and
paramecium.

 The nucleus divides by

mitosis and the
cytoplasm divides,
forming 2 new daughter
cells of equal size.
 Binary Fission =
is simplest form of
asexual reproduction.
Parent organism
divides into two
 approximately equal
parts. Each daughter
cell becomes a new
individual.

REGENERATI
ON
Definition
 Regeneration = The ability to re-grow lost
or damaged body parts.
 Hydra, planaria, starfish, and earthworm
More complex animals less able to re-grow
parts. Crab can re-grow a claw. Some
reptiles can re-grow a tail. Most mammals
can repair damaged tissue but can not re-
grow missing parts.
 Refers to the
replacement or
regrowth of lost or
damaged body parts
Regeneration

ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION

Vegetative
Reproduction
Definition
 Vegetative
=fragments of the
‘parent’ can grow
into new organisms
 Occurs only in plants
(vegetative). New
plants develop from
the roots, stems, or
leaves of the parent
plant.
 New plants can be produced from
sections of parent plants that are cut
off.
 New plants reproduced in this way are
identical to the parent plant.
 We see this in spider plants and willow
trees, for example.
 Runner or stolen =
horizontal stem
above the ground
with buds. If a bud
touches the ground
it will form roots
and stems and start
a new plant.
Strawberries.
