1. What is reproduction? Reproduction is the process by which
organisms produce more of their own kind.
Think about it – Without reproduction, all
life on earth would no longer exist.

2. What is Asexual Reproduction?
Only one parent is involved.
Offspring are genetically identical to their parents.
All cells that come from a single cell are genetically identical to it and to each other; they are all clones.
The new cells are produced by mitosis

3. Types of Asexual Reproduction
Mitosis - is the exact
duplication of the nucleus
of a cell so as to form two
identical nuclei during cell
division.

4. Types of Asexual Reproduction
Binary Fission - occurs in one- celled organisms such as the ameba and bacteria. The nucleus divides by mitosis and the cytoplasm divides, forming 2 new daughter cells of equal size.

7. Budding
Process by which a new, duplicate plant or animal begins to form at the side of the parent and enlarges until an individual is created.
Very common in plants;
Budding results from an equal division of Genetic information, but an unequal division of cytoplasm or body tissues

8. Types of Asexual Reproduction
Budding - Occurs in Hydra and yeast. The division of cytoplasm is unequal so one of the daughter cells is larger than the other. The daughter cells can separate or remain attached.

9. Hydra

11. Types of Asexual Reproduction
Sporulation - occurs in molds, mosses, etc
Spores are produced in large numbers by mitosis.
Spores are surrounded by a tough coat to help them survive harsh environmental conditions.
Spores usually travel to a new location where they grow into an adult organism

12. Types of Asexual Reproduction
Regeneration - Refers to the replacement or regrowth of lost or damaged body parts
Organisms with undifferentiated tissues are more likely to utilize regeneration

13. Planaria

14. Starfish

15. Grafting
Grafting is a process by which two different plants are united so that they grow as one.
Used to make seedless varieties, multiple fruit types per tree…

17. Cloning a method of producing genetically identical organisms.
been done with plants for centuries.
examples : cuttings, tubers, bulbs, runners.
in animals and humans it’s more complicated.
cloning raises ethical and moral issues.

18. Animal Cloning How its done:
obtain an egg cell from the female of the species to be cloned.
remove the nucleus from the egg cell. 
obtain a body cell from the species to be cloned.
remove the nucleus from this cell.
place the nucleus from the body cell into the egg cell. 
place this cell into the uterus of the female of the species to clone.
after the normal gestation period, the clone will be born.

19. Cloning Animals

20. Problems with Cloning Cloning has a low success rate
Cloned organisms often have a shortened life span
Cloning is incredibly expensive
