Asexual Reproduction
Grafting
A cutting from one plant called the scion is attached to the main body of a rooted plant called the stock The scion keeps its own identity. Seedless oranges and grapes are propagated this way.
Vegetative Propagation
A form of asexual plant reproduction in which a part of a plant, root, stem, or leaf grows into a new plant. The new plant is exactly the same as the parent plant.
hydra
A multicellular animal reproduced by budding
yeast
A one celled organism reproduced by budding
Budding
A type of asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops as an outgrowth of the parent. The new organism is called the bud. Results in equal division of the nucleus and unequal division of the cytoplasm.
Regeneration
Developing a new organism from a part of the parent organism
Rhizomes
Long modified stems that grow horizontally under the soil. New plants are produced at nodes along the stem. Long grasses, ferns and irises are examples.
Cuttings
Pieces of roots, stems, or leaves, develop into new plants under proper conditions. Roses, sugar cane and bananas are propagated this way.
binary fission
Simplest type of asexual reproduction. A one celled organism is divided into two by mitosis. Both the nucleus and cytoplasm divide equally
Spores
Specialized asexual reproductive cells that contain a nucleus and a small amount of cytoplasm.
Runners
Stems that grow out over the surface of the soil from the existing stem. At points along the runner, new plants grow
One advantage of spore formation
Surrounded by tough protective coats that allow them to survive unfavorable conditions such as extreme heat or cold
Tuber, Runner, and Bulbs
Three plants that reproduce by vegetative propagation
Tuber, runner, and bulbs
Three plants that reproduce by vegetative propagation.
Bulbs
Underground stems specialized for food storage. Each one can develop into a new plant
Tubers
Underground stems that contain stored food . The eyes of the potatoes are buds that can develop into new plants
two organisms that divide by binary fission
ameba and paramecia
types of asexual reproduction
binary fission, budding, sporulation, regeneration, vegetative propagation, and cloning
unicellular and multicellular plants
can reproduce both asexually and sexually
asexual reproduction is more common in--------------
invertibrate animals
mitosis
mitotic cell division
asexual reproduction
one cell called the parent cell divides into two identical daughter cells-offspring
lobsters, sponges, and planaria
organisms that reproduce by regeneration
