THE MYRIAD WAYS TO MAKE MORE OF YOURSELF THE VARIOUS WAYS TO REPRODUCE
ASEXUAL Makes an exact genetic copy Don’t need a partner NO VARIATION NO RECOMBINATION of genes Cells divide by mitosis

Budding
Vegetative Propagation
Genus Kalanchoe
Strawberry Runners
Binary Fission
Newt and Axolotyl
Linckia laevigata
Parthenogenesis
Whiptail Lizard
Lycoperdon perlatum
SEXUAL NOT an exact copy Need a partner MUCH variation RECOMBINATION of genes Sex cells (gametes) are made by meiosis
MEIOSIS Divide the chromosome number in half FOUR daughter cells Makes sperm or eggs Produces gametes RECOMBINES GENES!!!!!!
4 chromosomes 2 Chromosomes
