Types of Asexual Reproduction

Asexual Reproduction

• Involves the process of

• Offspring are genetically to parent

mitosis

identical

Binary Fission

• Parent divides into halves after nucleus replicates

• No parent remains daughter cells grow to normal size

• Occurs in , , and

Budding

• Parent organism divides into halves

• Daughter cell forms from outgrowth or off parent

• Buds may or remain attached and form a

Sporulation (spore forming)

• Production of many in a special spore producing structure ( )

• Spores are , specialized cells, containing and within a hard case

• Rhizome-

Short underground stem with stored food & fleshy leaves Ex. Onion, tulipShort underground stem with stored food Ex. Water chestnutEnlarged underground stem Ex. potato

(stolon) horizontal stem with buds along ground’s surface Ex. strawberry

Underground horizontal stem

Artificial Vegetative Propagation

• Cutting- use of plant to reproduce (Ex. )

• Layering- stem is over and covered with will root and form plant (Ex. )

• Grafting- stem or bud of one plant is to another plant
