[Link] asexual from sexual
reproduction
[Link] the different ways of how
plant reproduce
[Link] the different ways of how
animals reproduce
What do you see ?
How are the 2
pictures similar /
different in terms
of reproduction?
Reproduction is the
process by which
organisms produce
offspring; to ensure
continuity and
perpetuation of species.

Essential Questions:
1. Why is reproduction in plants and
animals important?
2. What will happen to species
overtime if every member
suddenly loses its ability to
reproduce?
Recitation
Tell
whether the following statements refer to
SEXUAL REPRODUCTION or ASEXUAL
REPRODUCTION. SEXUA
1. L
It involves the fusion of sex cells or gametes
SEXUA
[Link] involves two parents; one male and one
L
female.
ASEXUA
3. It produces offspring which are identical with the
L SEXUA
parent.
L
4. Fertilization occurs in this type of reproduction
ASEXUA
5. This involves only one parent to produce more
Asexual Reproduction in Plants
1. Natural Vegetative
Propagation
• Reproduction from specialized
reproductive parts of plants
2. Artificial Propagation
Method
• Done with the help from
humans
Modified Stems in Natural Plant
Propagation
Tuber Runner Corm
Rhizom

e
Tuber
New shoots arise from a
bud on a swollen, short,
underground stem
Runner
New plants arise at the
nodes of a horizontal
stem above the ground
Corm
New plants arise from very
short, thick, underground
stems with thin scaly
leaves
Rhizome
New plants arise at the
nodes of a horizontal root-
like underground stem
Bulb
New bulbs arise from a bud
on very short stems with
thick fleshy leaves

Summary (Plant Reproduction)
Plantcan reproduce sexually or asexually.
Asexual reproduction in plants can be
natural or artificial.
Sexual reproduction in plants promotes
genetic diversity.
Flower ovules develop into seeds that are
enclosed and protected inside fruits.
