1. Types of Asexual Reproduction

2. What is Asexual Reproduction
Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single organism, and inherit the genes of that parent only; it does not involve the fusion of gametes and almost never changes the number of chromosomes

3. Disadvantage 1. No Diversity
Since the traits of only one parent is passed on, all of the offspring are exactly identical. This causes for a very big lack of diversity among the population of these organisms.
2. Prone To Extinction
All of the same traits also means all of the same weaknesses. Parasites and other predators that have evolved to kill just one of the organisms can take out the entire population.
3. Cannot Adapt
An organism has established reactions to certain things, and all of these reactions are passed down to their offspring with asexual reproduction. This makes it impossible for them to adapt to any environment changes.

4. Advantages Advantages 1. Rapid Populating
* Asexual reproduction gives the ability to produce large quantities of of offspring. This helps to fill up niche’s quickly and prevent intruders and competition from invading.
2. No Mates Required
* Finding a mate can be very difficult for organisms that are in desolate environments, like the deep ocean. Asexual reproduction takes the need to find a mate away, allowing these organisms to multiply.
3. In Case of Emergency
* In dire situations, plants and organisms can keep themselves alive and produce others to help them without the help of a mate, or other reproductive source. Plants are a great example of this. If no pollinator is available to pollinate, then they can clone by asexual reproduction.
4. No True Investment
* Asexual reproducers do not have to carry their offspring for a long amount of time and produce more than one at a time. This makes it a quick and inexpensive process for them in the terms of time

5. Binary Fission Parent divides into halves after nucleus replicates
No parent remains daughter cells grow to normal size
Occurs in , , and
2 equal 2
bacteria
protozoa
algae

7. Budding Parent organism divides into halves
Daughter cell forms from outgrowth or off parent
Buds may or remain attached and form a
2 unequal
bud
break off
colony

Occurs in and
yeast

11. Sporulation (spore forming)
Production of many in a special spore producing structure ( )
Spores are , specialized cells, containing and within a hard case
Occurs in , , and
spores

14. Regeneration Ability to back missing parts
The more the organism, the it is to regenerate
Occurs in simple organisms such as

19. Vegetative Propagation
piece
of a body of a multicellular organism gives rise to a organism
Common in using stems, leaves, or roots
Can occur or
new
plants
naturally
artificially

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

22. Artificial Vegetative Propagation

Cutting- use of plant to
reproduce (Ex )
Layering- stem is over and covered with  will root and form plant (Ex )
Grafting- stem or bud of one plant is to another plant
(Ex )
