1. Bacteria Kingdom Eubacteria
Unicellular prokaryotes that can be spherical, rod-shaped or spiral-shaped
One large circular chromosome
Asexual reproduction –
chromosome replicates
copy and original chromosome separate
New cell membrane & cell wall forms
Separates into 2 identical cells

2. Amoeba Kingdom Protista
Single-celled eukaryote that contains a nucleus, food vacuoles
About 250 linear chromosomes per cell
Asexual reproduction –
chromosome replicates
copy and original chromosome separate
New cell membrane & cell wall forms
Separates into 2 identical cells

3. Fungi - Yeast Kingdom Fungi
Single-celled eukaryote that contains a nucleus, mitochondria & vacuoles
16 linear chromosome pairs
Asexual reproduction –
New cell develops while attached to the parent cell
New cell pinches off and separates from parent cell

4. Soil Fungi Kingdom Fungi
Multicellular eukaryotic organisms that have above-ground hyphae and below-ground mycelium
Number of linear chromosomes varies by species (between 6-16 pairs)
Asexual reproduction – mycelium fragmented by digging, broken pieces will grow new fungus

5. Soil Fungi spores Kingdom Fungi
Multicellular eukaryotic organisms that have above-ground hyphae and below-ground mycelium
Number of linear chromosomes varies by species (between 6-16 pairs)
Asexual reproduction – haploid cells that are released into the air or water to produce new hyphae & mycelium

6. Planaria Kingdom Animalia
Multicellular, eukaryotic flatworm that lives in freshwater
Chromosome number varies by species, between 6-16 chromosome pairs
Asexual reproduction – when it is cut in half, each piece will grow into a new animal

7. Hydra Kingdom Animalia
Multicellular eukaryotes that live in fresh water
Most species have 30 chromosomes
Asexual reproduction –
New animal develops while attached to the parent
New animal pinches off at base and separates from parent

8. Strawberry Kingdom Plantae
Small plant with a 3-leaved growth pattern, white flower and edible red fruit
Chromosome number depends on species – diploid plants have 7 pairs
Asexual reproduction – a horizontal stem grows out from one plant and will produce a new clone plant at the end
stolons

9. Cactus Kingdom Plantae Succulent plants that live in dry areas
Chromosome number varies with species (22 or more)
Asexual reproduction –
Growth of clone from side of plant
cutting part of plant (leaf, stem segment, root) and growing new plant
