ASEXUAL AND
SEXUAL
REPRODUCTION
Sexual Reproduction
 Sexual  1. 2 parents
Reproduction  2. Sex cells: sperm and
egg
 3. Sperm and egg join=
fertilization
 4. Offspring look different
from parent (mixed DNA)
Sexual Reproduction
 Sexual  5. Examples
Reproduction – Humans, some plants,
mammals, fish, reptiles, etc.
Sexual Reproduction
Fertilization: part of the process of sexual reproduction in which

a male reproductive cell and a female reproductive cell combine
to form a new cell that can develop into a new organism.
Sexual Reproduction
 Sexual Reproduction – a type of reproduction in which male
and female reproductive cells combine to form offspring with
genetic material from each parent
 Sexual Reproduction – two parents
 Results in increasing genetic diversity of the offspring
 Primary method of reproduction for the vast majority of visible

organisms, including almost all animals and plants

Sexual Reproduction
 Examples of organisms that reproduce sexually
– Chickens
– Iguanas
– Lobsters
– Sharks
– Humans
– Butterflies
– Sunflowers
– Roses

Advantages vs Disadvantages of
Sexual Reproduction
Advantages Disadvantages
 Variation in  Requires two
offspring organisms. Must
find a mate
 Organism is
 requires more
more protected cellular energy
because of  More time required
genetic variation for offspring
development

NOW EVERYBODY
SAY
SEXUAL
REPRODUCTION
LOUDER!
SEXUAL
REPRODUCTION!
Asexual Reproduction
 Asexual  1. One parent
Reproduction  2. No sex cells
 3. Offspring produced by
cell division
 4. Offspring identical to
parent (same DNA)
 5. Several types in plants
and animals
 Asexual Reproduction - one organism produces

one or more new organisms that are identical to
itself and that live independently of it
 Asexual reproduction = one parent
 The primary form of reproduction for single-celled

organisms such as archaea, bacteria, and protists
 Some plants and fungi reproduce asexually as

well
 Cell division and asexual reproduction are the

same thing in all single-celled organisms
 The offspring produced by asexual reproduction

are genetically identical to the parent
 Binary Fission, Budding, and Regeneration are

types of asexual reproduction
Types of Asexual Reproduction
 Binary  1. Organism divides in half
Fission  2. 2 identical daughter cells
produced
 3. Daughter cells are half
the parent’s size
 4. Daughter cells grow,
then divide.
 5. In bacteria
 Budding  1. Small bud grows out of
parent cell
 2. Two different sized cells
made (with identical DNA)
 3. Bud breaks off and
grows
 4. In yeast and hydra
 Regeneration  1. Repair/ grow lost body
parts
 2. Left over cells divide to
make more cells
 3. Lobsters, seastar,
lizards
Asexual Reproduction- Spore
 Found in fungi, algae, protozoa
 Airborne cells that are released from the
parent. They are enclosed and
developed when the environment is
appropriate.
19
 Plant cuttings/ vegetative
propagation
Vegetative reproduction
is a type of asexual
reproduction in plants
that relies on multi-
cellular structures formed
by the parent plant.

Regeneration
Moss
Advantages vs Disadvantages of
Advantages Disadvantages
 Asexual reproduction  Same DNA being
produces more offspring passed down NO
 Asexual reproduction GENETIC
takes less time VARIATION IN THE
 Only one parent OFFSPRING
involved. No searching  If parent has genetic
for mates disease offspring will
 Requires less energy have it too

sexual -- might be the most
effective strategy for passing on
one's genes and avoiding
extinction?
