1
Asexual vs. Sexual
2
Asexual reproduction is the formation of new individuals from the cells of a single parent. It is very common in plants; less so in animals. Or in the case of cells, asexual reproduction is making a new cell that is the same as the parent cell.
3
All plant organs have been used for asexual reproduction, but stems are the most common. In some species, stems arch over and take root at their tips, forming new plants. The horizontal above-ground stems of the strawberry produce new daughter plants.

This photo shows the leaves of the plant Bryophyllum. Mitosis along the leaf margins produces tiny plantlets that fall off and form new plants.Mitosis
5
Some plants use their roots for asexual reproduction. The dandelion is a common example. Trees, such as the poplar or aspen, send up new stems from their roots. In time, an entire grove of trees may form — all part of a clone of the original tree.clone
6
Commercially-important plants are often deliberately propagated by asexual means in order to keep particularly desirable traits (e.g., flower color, flavor, resistance to disease). Cuttings may be taken from the parent and rooted. Grafting is widely used to propagate a desired variety of shrub or tree. All apple varieties, for example, are propagated this way.
7
In budding, offspring develop as a growth on the body of the parent. In some species, e.g., jellyfishes and many echinoderms, the buds break away and take up an independent existence. In some species, e.g., jellyfishes and many echinoderms In others, like corals, the buds remain attached to the parent and the process results in colonies of animals.corals Budding is also common among parasitic animals, e.g., tapeworms.
8
In parthenogenesis ("virgin birth"), the females produce eggs, but these develop into young without ever being fertilized. Parthenogenesis occurs in some fishes, several kinds of insects, and a few species of frogs and lizards.
14
You don’t have to waste all that time finding a mate. And you get to pass on all of your own genes!!!
15
Sexual reproduction allows for greater diversity. “Bad genes” can get covered up by good ones from the other parent. Combinations of genes make it so organisms can better deal with changing environments.
16
The cell cycle asexually produces new body cells for: Repair Replacement Growth
17
The cell cycle consists of three main parts. Interphase Mitosis Cytokinesis
18
During interphase, the cell is preparing to divide by making more organelles and copying its DNA.
19
Mitosis is when the cell is actually making the new cells. It consists of 4 steps or phases. Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase
20
During prophase, the chromatin condenses into chromosomes.
21
During metaphase, chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
22
Anaphase is when the chromosomes move to the opposite ends.
23
In telophase, the chromosomes reach the opposite ends and the cell gets ready to actually split.
24
During cytokinesis, the cell divides into two cells.
25
Produces new body cells Cell copies DNA once Cell splits once 2 new (daughter) cells Daughter cells the same as the parent cells Daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cells
26
A different type of cell must be produced for sexual reproduction. These different cell are called sex cells, or gametes Egg = female gamete Sperm = male gamete
27
Since the gametes are going to unite to make a new organism, each gamete only needs to have half the genetic information as its parent cell. In mitosis, the cell copied its DNA once and split once. In making sex cells, the cell has to copy it’s DNA once and then split twice.
28
The process of making gametes by copying the DNA once, and splitting twice is called meiosis.
29
Produces gametes (Sex cells) Cell copies DNA once Cell splits twice 4 new (daughter) cells Daughter cells different from parent cells Daughter cells have the half the number of chromosomes as the parent cells
30
MITOSISMEIOSIS Produces body cells Cell copies DNA once Cell splits once 2 new (daughter) cells New cells the same as the parent cells Daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cells Produces gametes Cell copies DNA once Cell splits twice 4 new (daughter) cells New cells different from parent cells Daughter cells have the half the number of chromosomes as the parent cells
