reproduction Flashcards
what is reproduction
reproduction is a biological process in which an organism reproduce a new individual of same kind
advantages of reproduction
-evolution of species
-ensures the continutity of a species in earth
-creates genetic variations
give an example of non-useful variation/evolution
moth
what is a chromosome
a DNA molecule that consists a part of all gentic material of an organism
types of asexual reproduction
8-fission
budding
fragementation
parthenogenesis
parthenocarpy
regeneration
sporogenesis/spore formation
vegetative propogation
an example of binary fission
amoeba, paramecium, euglena
an example of multiple fission
plasmodium
what is budding and its example
formation of an individual from a small projection, a bud, arising from a perticular site of parent body ex- yeast
what is fragmentation and its examples
an organism when matured divides its body into fragments/ sections that forms a new individual or organism
ex- spirogra, earthworm, liches
by what asexual reproduction does planeria reproduce
fragmentation
what is fragmentation
the ability of an organism to give rise to a new individual from their body parts
what asexual reproduction takes place in rizobium
sporogenesis/spore formation
what is sporogenesis
a type of asexual reproduction which involves of reproductive structures called spores
what is the difference between parthenogenesis/ parthenocarpy
prathenogenesis- unfertilization of gaments/ unfertilized eggs forms a new individual and they are the copy of their mother, happens in both plants and animals
parthenocarpy- happens only in fruits, production of fruits without fertifization, artificial method, seedless fruits
bryophyllum reproduce through
vegetative propgation from leaves
