Cutting a portion of a potato that contains an eye or bud and planting it in a vegetable garden.

Yeast producing a bud that falls off and forms an offspring yeast.

Genes carry genetic information

An offspring is made of cells

The genetic information from two organisms combines

An offspring inherits a set of traits identical to the parents

Allows genetic variation

Only needs one parent

Happens very quickly

Offspring are exact copies of parent

asexual

sexual

both

a.  reproduction in which the sex cells from two parents unite to produce offspring

b.  reproduction that does not involve the union of sex cells

Traits from two parents are combined. 

More organisms reproduce this way. 

Offspring grow in different environments. 

Offspring come from identical parents. 

binary fission

budding

fragmentation 

vegetation propagation

inherited from only one parent. 

created by the environment. 

passed on from two parents. 

learned from siblings.

To provide food for the flower

To attract pollinators

To attract animals to disperse the fruits

To produce perfumes for Man

causes people to sneeze

is formed inside a plant

moves from stamen to stigma

moves from stigma to stamen

plant reproduction

ability of plants to make food

moving seeds to a new location

adaptation of plants to produce more seeds

Regeneration

Regeneration

Vegetative propagation

Budding

Fission

diverse offspring

identical to parent

time and energy 

adaptability 

smaller populations

cannot adapt easily

adapts easily to new environments

requires no energy

a lot of time and energy is required for making gametes and finding mates

offspring can be produced more quickly than by asexual means

the genetic diversity makes organisms respond differently to environmental changes

the offspring are genetically different

Can quickly grow the population

Offspring are guaranteed to be successful in an unchanged environment.

Only one parent is required to reproduce.

Can adapt to changing environments

A mutation is a growth on an organism.

A mutation is a copy of a gene.

A mutation is a change in an organisms genes.

A mutation is a feature of an organism.

Siblings get different amounts of genes from their mother or father making them different.

Each sibling has a mutation that causes them to have different traits.

Siblings use their environment and experiences to determine their traits.

Offspring inherit different combinations of gene versions from parents.
