ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION IN MICROORGANISMS
Binary Fission comes from the wors bi- means ______ and fiss which means split.
two
Kataka-taka is an example of asexual reproduction in plants through its ______________.
leaves
What type of reproduction is described in the text, where only one parent is involved, and the offspring is a clone of the parent
Asexual reproduction
One process of reproduction in microorganisms wherein an outgrowth or a bud grows from the parent organism and develops.
Budding
In _____________ Vegetative Reproduction, the new plant grows and develops even without human intervention.
Natural
Name one lower form of animal mentioned in the text that undergoes budding.
Hydra or corals
What is the English term of Saccharomyces cerevisiae?
Yeast
It is a type of asexual reproduction in plants that involves plant parts that produce buds
Vegetative propagation
In corals, what is the term for the type of budding where the parent polyp produces an offspring with a smaller size outside the ring of tentacles?
Extratentacular budding.
In ____________, fragments of an organism grow and develop into a new organism while in ___________, an organism splits in half to form two individuals.
Involves the combination of plants and letting them grow together.
Grafting
Explain the difference between budding and binary fission mentioned in the text.
In budding, the identity of the parent remains after the detachment of the new organism, while in binary fission, the parent cannot be distinguished anymore as it has divided into two new organisms.
Enumerate the three ways a microorganisms reproduce asexually.
Binary Fission, Budding, Fragmentation
Enumerate at least 5 ways of vegetative Reproduction. (Ways of asexual reproduction in plants)
through roots, leaves and stems
through stem cutting, root cutting, leaf cutting, and grafting.
Apart from budding, what is another method of asexual reproduction mentioned in the text, where a portion of an organism is broken off and grows into a mature individual? (Explain)
Fragmentation
