ASEXUAL

REPRODUCTION
PREFARED BY: NEIL VILORIA
 WHAT IS ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION?

• Asexual reproduction is a 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.
THERE’S A TYPES OF ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION

• CUTTING
• LAYERING
• DIVISION
• BUDDING
• GRAFTING
• Cutting a portion of a leaf,
stem, or root off the
parent plant then
replanting and therefore
the plant begins to grow.
This is the most common
and widely used form of
vegetative propagation.
• Layering is a method of
asexual propagation in which a
stem is made to produce roots
while still attached to the
parent plant. The parent plant
provides the new plant with
water and nutrients while the
roots are forming. Layering can
be used for plants that are
difficult to propagate using
other methods.
• Division, in horticulture
and gardening, is a
method of asexual plant
propagation, where the
plant (usually an
herbaceous perennial) is
broken up into two or
more parts. Both the
root and crown of each
part is kept intact.
• Budding, or bud grafting, is
a form of vegetative or
clonal plant propagation
by which an exact replica
of the parent plant is
produced.There are two
slightly different methods
of budding – chip budding
and T budding.
• Grafting and budding are
horticultural techniques used
to join parts from two or
more plants so that they
appear to grow as a single
plant. In grafting, the upper
part (scion) of one plant
grows on the root system
(rootstock) of another plant.
In the budding process, a bud
is taken from one plant and
grown on another.
