1. Sexual Reproduction

2. My Goals Today I will learn how living organisms reproduce and pass traits to their offspring.

3. What is heredity? Heredity is the passing on of traits from one generation to the next.

4. What are the two modes of reproduction? Sexual Reproduction and Asexual Reproduction

5. How do eukaryotic cells reproduce?

6. How do prokaryotic cells reproduce?

7. Sexual or Asexual Reproduction?

8. How diverse are humans? Create a group with students that are the same height as you.

9. 1. If these students had the same amount of time to grow, why are they different heights?

10. Sexual reproduction creates diverse offspring, or offspring containing a combination of DNA from both parents. Sexual Reproduction

11. Produces a special cell with one of each pair of genes – called an egg cell. Female Organism

12. Produces a special cell with one of each pair of genes. - sperm cell in animals - pollen in plants. Male Organism

13. In animals, sperm is made in the testes of males. Where is sperm made?

14. In plants, pollen is made in the stamen. BrainPOP | Science | Learn about Pollination Where is pollen made?

15. Sexual Reproduction in Animals

16. During fertilization, egg and sperm join together. Once the egg is fertilized, it is called a zygote and will develop into a new organism.

17. Asexual Reproduction The production of offspring by a single parent, without the union of a sperm cell and an egg cell.

18. Asexual Reproduction The offspring is getting genes from only one parent so they are genetically identical to the parent.

19. Types of Asexual Reproduction Budding = a new organism grows from an existing organism and then breaks off. Example = hydra

20. Types of Asexual Reproduction Fission = an organism splits in two to create two new organisms. Examples = prokaryotes

21. Types of Asexual Reproduction Vegetative Propagation = smaller plants begin to grow off of an adult plant. Examples: grasses growing rhizomes and stolons

22. Pros & Cons to Asexual Reproduction Pros – Don’t have to waste energy finding a mate – Can easily produce many offspring Cons – All organisms are genetically identical – They all have the same weaknesses
