MODES OF

REPRODUCTION
QUESTIONS!
1.What is reproduction?
2.Why do organisms
reproduce?
3.What is the result of
reproduction?
REPRODUCTION
 process of producing offspring
that are biologically or
genetically similar to the parent
organism
 enables and ensures the
continuity of species,
generation after generation
TYPES OF REPRODUCTION
1. Sexual Reproduction
 involves the fusion of male and
female gametes (fertilization)
 Humans, animals, and many
multicellular organisms exhibit a
sexual mode of reproduction.
2. Asexual Reproduction
 one individual (parent) produces
offspring that is genetically
identical to itself
 does not involve sex cells or
gametes
 does not allow genetic variation,
but guarantees reproduction
TYPES OF ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
1. Vegetative propagation
 occurring in plants in which a new
plant grows from a fragment of the
parent plant or grows from a
specialized reproductive structure
(such as a stolon, rhizome, tuber,
corm, or bulb)
EXAMPLES:
2. Binary fission
 from the word binary which means
“two” and fission which means
“splitting”, the cells divides or splits
to form two identical daughter cells
EXAMPLES
3. Budding
 a small bud-like outgrowth gives rise
to a new individual.
 The outgrowth remains attached to
the organism until it is fully grown. It
detaches itself and lives as an
individual organism.
EXAMPLES:
4. Sporogenesis
 a new organism grows from the
spores
 These can be created without
fertilization and can spread through
wind and animals.
EXAMPLES:
5. Fragmentation
 breaking of the body into two parts
with subsequent regeneration
 Regeneration is the process in which
organisms replace or restore their
lost or damaged body parts. If the
animal is capable of fragmentation
and the part is big enough, a
separate individual will regrow.
