1. Sexual and Asexual Reproduction.

2. Asexual Reproduction:
One parent producing an offspring identical to itself (parent)
Offspring can live independently

3. Cell Division in Unicellular Organisms
Binary Fission:
form of asexual reproduction in prokaryotic (lacks nucleus) organisms
Parent organism splits in half
(Eukaryotic – reproduce by mitosis ex: algae, some yeast, protozoans like paramecium)

5. Budding Organism develops tiny buds on its body Asexual reproduction
Buds form from the parent cell so the bud is identical to the parent.
Both unicellular and multicellular
Examples: hydra, plants, some yeast

7. Regeneration:
Specialized cells grow new tissue when a wound or lost limb occurs
Examples: Starfish, lizard tails, planarian, cuttings from plants….

9. Asexual Reproduction & Health
Bacteria reproduces at very rapid rates
Reason you get sick within a day..
