Reproduction: On a cellular level Biological Success Reproduction: On a cellular level
Two Types of Reproduction AseXUAL Sexual
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION Requires only one “parent” Creates an exact duplicate of the original (If no mistakes or errors are made) Occurs by creating a copy of the Genetic material and “dividing” the cell into two Some multicellular organisms reproduce asexually, Sponges “budding” and Hydras
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION Plant cuttings regenerating Bacteria Fungus
MITOSIS Cells go through a “Cell Cycle” 3 stages of “Cell Cycle” Growth Preparation for Mitosis(Cell Division) Mitosis(Cell Division)
SEXUAL REPRODUCTION Requires at least two “parents” Combines a partial copy (half) of the Genetic Material from the parents to form a complete Genetic Blueprint Creates an unique individual with slightly different abilities than the parents
MEIOSIS Begins similarly to Mitosis Results in 4 “daughter cells” Each daughter cell has only half of the Genetic Material
