Mitosis and Asexual Reproduction

QuestionAnswer
characteristics of asexual reproduction: unicellular, one parent, no specialized sex cells/organs, offspring virtually identical to parent, rapid
list the methods of asexual reproduction binary fission, budding, spore formation, regeneration, vegetative propagation
simplest form of asexual reproduction, parent cell splits into two equal daughter cells, common in bacteria, protozoa, and algae binary fission
parent cell divides into two UNEQUAL daughter cells, buds appear on parent cells as small outgrowths, common in yeast, hydra, and sponges budding
___________, formed through mitosis, are released from parent cell, germinate, and grow into a new individual spores
spores act as a single unit of _____________ reproduction
examples of spores fungi(mold), algae, and protozoa
often surrounded by a thick, hard outer wall spores
the ability to regrow lost parts regeneration
the power of regeneration ___________ as the organization becomes more complex decreases
in regeneration the least complex cells divide ______ often more
in regeneration the more complex cells such as __________ or _________ cells rarely divide after being formed muscle, nerve
in vegetative reproduction most plants reproduce sexually by ________ seeds
asexual vegetative propagation involves: roots, stems, and leaves
_____________ _________ divide mitotically and give rise to a new plant identical to parent plant undifferentiated cells
examples of vegetative reproduction: bulbs, corms, tubers, runners, and rhizomes
What are the advantages of artificial vegetative propagation? plants are consistent, development is often faster than grown from seed, seedless fruit, higher yields of fruit or nuts
