Types of Reproduction Explained

The document outlines two types of reproduction: asexual and sexual. Asexual reproduction involves one parent and results in genetically identical offspring, while sexual reproduction involves two parents and produces genetically unique offspring through the fusion of gametes. Examples include starfish regeneration for asexual reproduction and the butterfly life cycle for sexual reproduction.

REPRODUCTION

the production of offspring.


2 TYPES of Reproduction

ASEXUAL

- involves one parent and offsprings are genetically identical to the parent
- has 7 types which are: fission, fragmentation, budding, vegetative reproduction,
spore formation and agamogenesis.
- since it has only one parents the way of reproduction is not entail or union of gametes

Methods of Asexual Reproduction:


- Natural Asexual Reproduction
- Artificial Asexual Reproduction

SEXUAL

-involves two parents who has different sexes

- Involves mating
- Offsprings are genetically unique
- Combines individuals genetic information
- gametes fertilizes through both sexes

Methods of Sexual Reproduction:


- Natural Sexual Reproduction or mating
Animal Reproduction in Asexual Reproduction
- acquired through regeneration or copulating one individual
- Less Energy resources required
- no genetic diversity

Example
- starfish regenerates itself to produce another whose genetically identical or just some parts are
growing which developes as an another identical starfish.

- There is only one lizard whose eggs are developing as embryos naturally meaning it's just
copulating the parent who produced them which is known as parthenogenesis.
This lizards are called as Whiptail.

Animal Reproduction in Sexual Reproduction


- Involves fusion of gametes
- requires much energy than asexual
-has genetic chnges through fusion of two sexes opposes diversity

Example
-through mating -female lays eggs

-once fertilized eggs


-after 10-14 days
transforms into a larva
pupa will be
opened by the
butterflys force
releasing a fully
grown adult
butterfly.

-larva develops as pupa to ready there body


for the changes like having their wings and
full grown body
