1. LIVING
IN
ORGANISMS

2. 
Used by many unicellular organisms, plants, and
lower animals.

Involves only mitotic cell division = each offspring
has exactly the same heredity as its parent.

Usually rapid compared to sexual reproduction.
Types of Asexual Reproduction Include:

3. 1.

3.
4.
5.
BINARY FISSION
BUDDING
SPORE FORMATION
REGENERATION
VEGETATIVE PROPOGATION
NATURAL ARTIFICIAL

4. 


Nucleus of parent cell replicates and the parent
cell divides in 2 Equal halves .
No parent remains The 2 daughter cells
grow to normal size individual.
Occurs in Algae, Bacteria and
Protozoa.
,

7. 
Parent organism divides into 2 Unequal halves.

Daughter cell forms from outgrowth grow as
an independent individual.

The outgrowth is known as BUD.

Buds may breakoff or remain attached and
form a Colony.

8. hydra
yeast

10. 
Production of many spores in a special spore
producing structure ( spore case)

Spores are microscopic, specialized cells,
containing nucleus and cytoplasm.

Nucleus is close within a hard case.

Occurs in molds , ferns and mushrooms.

13. Ability to grow back missing parts.
 More the organism is complete harder to grow
the missing parts.
Occurs in simple organisms such as --- flat worm

starfish
and

16. Development of a new plant from the
vegetative part of a plant.


Common in plants- using stems, leaves, or
roots.
Can occur naturally or artificially.

17. 




Bulb- Short underground stem with stored
food & fleshy leaves Ex. Onion, tulip
Corm- Short underground stem with stored
food
Ex. Water chestnut
Tuber-Enlarged underground stem
Ex. potato
Runner-(stolon) horizontal stem with buds
along ground’s surface Ex. strawberry
Rhizome-Underground horizontal stem
Ex. ginger

19. Cutting- use partof plant to
reproduce (Ex.Spider plant
)



Layering- stem is bentover and covered with soil
 will root and form
new plant (Ex.
raspberry )
Grafting- stem or bud of one plant is joined
to
another plant
permanently
(Ex. Seedless fruit tree
)
