Asexual Reproduction
How many types does reproduction have?
Reproduction has two types.
What is Binary Fission?
In Binary fission, the parent organism splits (or divides) to form two new organisms of the same kind.
What is Budding?
In Budding, a small outgrowth called bud is formed on the body of the parent organism which grows in size and get detached to form a new organism.
What is Cloning?
Cloning in the reproduction of an exact copy of a cell, any body part or a complete organism.
Binary Fission takes place in ______.
(a) Hydra (b) Paramecium (c) Yeast (d) Planaria
(b) Paramecium
What are the two types of reproduction?
Asexual and Sexual reproduction
Binary fission occurs in ________ organisms.
Unicellular.
Give two examples of Budding.
Hydra and Corals.
What are Clones?
The animal or plant which are genetically identical are called Clones.
The production of new animals from a single parent without the involvement of gametes is called _________ reproduction.
Asexual
What is asexual reproduction?
Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which a new offspring is produced by a single parent.
Binary Fission is the _______ form of asexual reproduction.
Simplest
How does Hydra reproduce?
Hydra usually reproduces through Budding. A new hydra starts as a bud forming on the side of a hydra's body. It grows and breaks away as a clone of the original.
Is cloning possible in mammals?
Cloning in mammals was successfully done for the first time by Ian Wilmut and his colleagues in Roslin Institute in Scotland.
How many types does asexual reproduction have?
Asexual reproduction has four types.
Give a brief explanation of reproduction in Amoeba through binary fisson.
In a fully grown Amoeba, the nucleus lengthens and divides into two parts. The cytoplasm of Amoeba divides into two parts around each nucleus. This way, one amoeba divides to make amoebae daughters.
Hydra only reproduces through Budding. True or False?
False. Hydra usually reproduces asexually through budding, but some Hydras reproduce sexually as well.
What did Ian Wilmut and his coworkers first clone?
They successfully cloned a sheep named Dolly.
What are any two types of asexual reproduction?
Binary Fission and Budding.
Give an example of Binary fission.
Amoeba.
Do Corals separate from the parent organism like Hydra?
No, the buds of Corals do not separate out but remain attached to the parent organism. While attached to the parent body, and attain full size and reproduce to form a colony.
Can Hydras clone?
Yes, Hydras can clone through the process of Budding.
