What is asexual reproduction?

Back

A type of reproduction that involves only one parent, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.

Front

What are the offspring of asexually reproduced organisms like?

Back

Identical to their parents.

Front

What is budding in asexual reproduction?

Back

A process where a new organism grows by cell division on the body of its parent, and the offspring is identical to the parent.

Front

Give an example of organisms that reproduce by budding.

Back

Yeast, hydra, and potatoes.

Front

What is regeneration?

Back

The ability of an organism to regrow lost body parts or to form a new organism from a part of the parent.

Front

What type of reproduction occurs when a planarian regrows its body parts?

Back

Regeneration.

Front

What is vegetative propagation?

Back

A form of asexual reproduction in plants where new individuals arise from vegetative parts.

Front

What is fission in asexual reproduction?

Back

A process where an organism splits into two or more parts, each capable of growing into a new organism.

Front

How does sexual reproduction differ from asexual reproduction?

Back

Sexual reproduction involves two parents and results in offspring with genetic variation, while asexual reproduction involves one parent and produces identical offspring.

Front

What is the genetic material of sexually reproducing organisms expected to show?

Back

More variation compared to asexually reproducing organisms.
