Binary Fission
The main purpose of binary fission in bacteria
Reproduction
In budding, a small growth forms on the parent. This growth is called a “”
A bud
Spores are released into the air from a ______ structure.
Specialized
New plants can grow from parts of the parent plant without seeds in this process.
vegetative reproduction
Can a starfish or worm reproduce with only one cell?
Nope, each fragment must be large enough and contain the necessary cell types and structures to function as its own organism
Organisms that use binary fission do not have a nucleus because they belong to this group.
This common unicellular fungus reproduces by budding.
Yeast
Spores are NOT _______, they are multicellular
Unicellular
What kind of stems do runners have?
Horizontal
Name a simple organism well-known for reproducing by fragmentation.
Starfish, worms, etc.
Name of the offspring cell produced by binary fission
Daughter Cell
Unlike binary fission, the offspring in budding is ____ compared to the parent when it first forms.
Smaller
What do spores require in order to grow?
A favourable environment
Name 3 parts a plant can grow from the parent plant
stem, root, or leaf.
Fragmentation produces offspring only after this happens.
a part of the parent breaks off or is damaged
The members of this form of life reproduce almost entirely by binary fission
Bacteria or Archaea
What is something yeast is commonly found in?
dough, bread, pretzels, soy sauce, cheese, vinegar
Spores can travel long distances because they rely on this.
Wind or Water
Gardeners often use this method of vegetative reproduction by cutting a part of a plant and planting it to a different plant grow a new one.
Grafting
Budding produces one new organism at a time, but fragmentation can make several offspring depending on this.
the number of pieces the organism breaks into
This is one major difference between mitosis and binary fission: eukaryotic cells need this structure to divide, but prokaryotes do not.
A Nucleus
True
Name 3 factors which deem an environment favourable for spores (any type) to grow
Temperature, Moisture, Light, Nutrients, Oxygen, pH level
List 3 reasons why grafting is used
Bigger plants, sweeter plants, disease-resistant plants, better texture, faster plant maturity, etc
Many simple animals, like flatworms, can regrow missing parts through _______, which is a form of fragmentation.
Regeneration
