Sexual reproduction
Two separate organisms (parents) contribute genetic information in specialized sex cells
What do the sex cells combined produce
Zygote
Asexual reproduction
Involves one parent, all the offspring that are produced by this are identical to the parent
Zygote
The first cell of the new organism
Clone
Clones contain DNA that is identical to the DNA of the parent (genetically identical)
Budding
Offspring begins as a small growth on parents, called a bud. The bud undergoes cell division and grow in size before breaking off from a parent.
Where does budding only occur in
Budding occurs in single celled organisms
Fragmentation
A small part of an animal breaks off and grows into a new organism, this fragment can grow into a complete animal
Regeneration
Regeneration is the ability to regrow a body part, a tissue, or an organ.
Binary fission
The parent undergoes cell division to produce two genetically identical daughter cells, or offspring.
