Asexual Reproduction & Assisted Reproductive technologies Flashcards
how many parents does asexual reproductive require
one parent
true or false?
offsprings produced are genetically identical to the parent into each other
true
how many methods or asexual reproduction are there ( list them)
5
binary fission
budding
fragmentation
spore formation
vegetative reproduction
explain binary fission
binary fission is a splitting of one parent cell into two identical, daughter cells. Daughter cells are identical to the parent cell.
binary fission occurs in …
unicellular organisms
explain budding
putting is when a parent makes a genetically mini offspring through repeated mitosis, and the offspring will pinch off the parent when ready to leave.
explain fragmentation
Fragmentation is when organism breaks apart a fragment, then develops a clone of its parents, for example, like octopuses or starfish
Explain spore formation
Sport is a reproductive cells produced by one parent by mitosis in the spore grows into a clone of its parents
explain vegetative reproduction
vegetative reproduction is a dividing process that normally happens in plants and happens when in the stem or the root of the plant divides repeatedly, the structure will develop into a plant identical to the parent 
What’s a scion
A bud stem or root
list human assisted vegetative reproduction methods
Grafting and cutting
Explain cutting
when a stem root or leaf is cut and implanted into the ground
explain grafting
Graphing is when a plant cannot grow due to cutting, and a skin is implanted into the rootstock of a similar plant species
what is reproductive cloning
Reproductive cloning is when an organism produces genetic clone of an organism. This happens when a somatic cells nucleus is removed and is fused with an egg cell that has its nucleus removed
human assisted cloning
Is using technology and human intervention to produce a desired cellular organism 
What is therapeutic cloning?
therapeutic clothing is a type of chronic process used to correct health problems, this process involves the use of stem cell stem cells are a type of special cell that is used to develop other cells like brain cells, stomach cells, heart cells.
what’s the process of therapeutic cloning?
The defective cells nucleus is removed. desired Nucleus cell is fused with the defective cell and is formed to make a fused cell then turn into a stem cell and that stem cell then turns into any desired cell to replace defective cell in a patient 
advantages and disadvantage of asexual reproduction
Advantages: more offsprings, colonies of offsprings larger number means higher chance of the species surviving
disadvantages: offsprings fight for food in space when the negative change can wipe out the whole species, all offsprings genetically identical
