Introduction To Reproduction

This document discusses two types of reproduction: asexual, which does not involve gametes, and sexual, which does. It provides examples of different asexual reproduction methods like fission, fragmentation, budding and sporulation. It also explains the differences between isogamy and oogamy in sexual reproduction, and defines terms like bisexual reproduction and hermaphrodites. It concludes with a table summarizing the key differences between sexual and asexual reproduction.

Introduction to

Reproduction
Two General Types of
Reproduction
Asexual reproduction - Mode of
reproduction that does not involve the use
of gametes or sex cells
Sexual reproduction - Mode of
reproduction that involves the use of
gametes or sex cells
Types of Asexual Reproduction

1. Fission - Type of asexual reproduction involving the division of


body into two or more equal parts
Types of Asexual Reproduction

 Fragmentation - Type of asexual reproduction where the body breaks into two or
more parts, with each fragment capable of becoming a complete individual; in
animals, fragmentation is usually followed by regeneration where the missing parts
are produced. For example, a lost arm of the starfish may be regenerated by
mitotic cell divisions
Types of Asexual Reproduction

Budding - Type of asexual reproduction where a new


individual arises as an outgrowth (bud) from its parent,
develops organs like those of the parent, and then detaches
itself
Types of Asexual Reproduction

 Sporulation - Type of asexual reproduction where a new individual forms


from an aggregation of cells surrounded by a resistant capsule or spore,
which later on germinates
Types of Sexual Reproduction

Isogamy - Fusion of similar gametes which are usually motile


Types of Sexual Reproduction

 Heterogamy - Fusion of dissimilar gametes. In oogamy, a large immotile gamete, the


egg is fertilized by a small motile gamete, the sperm
SPECIAL TERMS FOR SEXUAL REPRODUCTION

Bisexual reproduction - Type of sexual reproduction


involving the union of gametes from two genetically
different parents
 Examples are in humans, and papaya among others
Hermaphrodite - An individual with both male and female
reproductive tissues. In animals “self fertilization” is not
common. In worms, a hermaphrodite needs a male to
donate sperms in order to fertilize the oocytes in its body
Examples are barnacles; worms
Summary of SEXUAL and ASEXUAL
Reproduction
SEXUAL ASEXUAL
Number of parents TWO ONE
involved one two
Gametes Present; sperm has No need for
to fertilize gamete union
the egg
Genetic Generally are Genetically
composition of hybrids of parents identical to parent
offspring (Clone)
