asexual R

Reproduction is the process through which new organisms are produced from existing ones, ensuring the continuity and survival of species. It can occur through asexual means, involving a single parent, or sexual means, involving two parents and their gametes. Various methods of reproduction include fission, fragmentation, regeneration, budding, spore formation, and vegetative propagation.

Reproduction
Reproduction
The production of new organism form the
already existing organism of the same species
is known as Reproduction.
How do organisms Reproduce?
• Organisms look similar because their body designs are simillar.
• Chromosomes in the nucleus of cell contain information for the inheritance
of features from parents to the next generation in the form of DNA
( deoxyribo nucleic acid) molecule.
• The DNA in the cell nucleus is the information source for making protein.
If the information is changed, different proteins will be made.
Different proteins will eventually leads to altered body design.
Therefore, a basic even in reproduction is the creation of DNA copy.
Cells use chemical reactions to build copies of there DNA
This creates two copies of DNA in a reproducing cell, and they need to be
separated from each other.
Significance of reproduction

- The process of reproduction ensures continuity of life on earth.


- Reproduction is essential for the survival of a species on this
earth.
Types Of Reproduction:
Asexual Reproduction

- The production of a new organism from a single parent without the


involvement of sex cells (or gametes) is called asexual reproduction.

sexual Reproduction

- The production of a new organism from two parents by making use


of their Sex cells (or gametes) is called Sexual reproduction.
Ques - Differentiate between Asexual Reproduction and Sexual Reproduction.
Fission

In this process of fission, a unicellular organism splits or divides into two or


more new organism.
Fragmentation
- The breaking up of the body of a simple organism into two or more
pieces on maturing, each of which subsequently grows to form a
complete new organism, is called fragmentation. - Example – Spirogyra
Regeneration
The process of getting back a full organism from its body
parts is called Regeneration. Example - Hydra and Planaria
Budding

- In budding, a small part of the body of the parent organism grows out
as a 'bud' which then detaches and becomes a new organism.
- Example – Hydra, Yeast
Budding in Yeast
Spore Formation

− The parent plant produces hundred of microscopic reproductive units


called 'spores'. When the spore case of the plant bursts, then the spores
spread into air. When these air-borne spores land on food (or soil) under
favourable conditions (like damp and warm conditions), they germinate
and produce new plants. − Example – Rhizopus (bread mould)
Vegetative propagation

In Vegetative propagation, new plants are obtained from the parts of


old plants (like Stem, roots and leaves) without the help of any
Reproductive organs
