Essential Questions
What is asexual reproduction, and why is it beneficial?
How do the types of asexual reproduction differ?

4. Vocabulary Asexual reproduction Fission Budding Regeneration
Vegetative reproduction
Cloning

5. What is asexual reproduction?
In asexual reproduction, one parent organism produces offspring without meiosis and fertilization

6. Types of Asexual Reproduction
Fission
Cell division in prokaryotes that forms two genetically identical cells
Mitotic Cell Division
Budding
A new organism grows by mitosis and cell division on the body of its parent

7. Types of Asexual Reproduction
Animal Regeneration
Occurs when an offspring grows from a piece of its parent
Producing New Organisms
Producing New Parts
Vegetative Reproduction
Is a form of asexual reproduction in which offspring grow from a part of a parent plant

8. Cloning
Is a type of asexual reproduction performed in a laboratory that produces identical individuals from a cell of from a cluster of cells taken from multicellular organism
Plant Cloning
Animal Cloning

9. Advantages of Asexual Reproduction
Reproduce without a mate
Rapidly produce a large number of offsprings

10. Disadvantages of Asexual Reproduction
Little genetic variation
Harmful mutations will be passed to asexually reproduced offspring
