1. What is Reproduction Prepared by M aricel L andiza

2. Reproduction Is a biological processes in which an organism gives rise to young ones (offspring) similar to itself. The offspring grows, matures, and in turn reproduce a new offspring. Thus, there is a cycle of birth, growth and death. Reproduction enables the continuity of the species, generation after generation.

3. Asexual reproduction – When offspring is produced by a single parent with or without the involvement of gamete formation

4. Sexual reproduction – *when two parents (opposite sex) participate in the reproductive process involving fusion of male and female gametes

5. What are the types of reproduction in plants? Self-fertilization/self-pollination Fertilization Is a fusion of male and female gametes (sex cells) produced by the same individual . Cross-fertilization Cross-fertilization Is the fusion of male and female gametes from different individuals of the same species. Asexual reproduction In this method, a single individual (parent) is capable of producing offspring

6. Self-fertilization/self-pollination Fertilization is a fusion of male and female gametes (sex cells) produced by the same individual. Self-fertilization occurs in bisexual organisms, including most flowering plants, numerous protozoans, and many invertebrates.

7. Cross-fertilization Cross-fertilization is the fusion of male and female gametes from different individuals of the same species . It must occur in dioecious plants (those having male and female organs on separate individuals) and in all animal species in which there are separate male and female individuals. Cross-pollination can only occur between members of the same species.

8. Asexual reproduction In this method, a single individual (parent) is capable of producing offspring.

9. Asexual reproduction Binary fission (“division in half”) The nucleus of the parent cell divides several times by mitosis, producing several nuclei. The cytoplasm then separates, creating multiple daughter cells. Budding It involves the growth of a small bulb-like projection called bud. It grows and detaches itself from the parent cell to grow independently into a new organism. Fragmentation involves breaking down of filaments into fragments that grow into young ones.
