Basics of Asexual Reproduction
This type of reproduction requires only one parent and produces identical offspring.
What is asexual reproduction?
This type of asexual reproduction involves an organism splitting in half.
What is binary fission?
Bacteria reproduce through this process.
What is binary fission?
A major advantage of asexual reproduction is that it does not require this.
mate
which organisms uses mitosic division in asexual reproduction
Eukaryotic cells
Offspring from asexual reproduction have this percentage of the parent's DNA.
What is 100%?
In this process, a small version of the parent grows on the body of its parent.
What is budding?
Yeast and hydras use this method to reproduce.
What is budding?
An advantage of asexual reproduction according to the time taken.
It takes less time and less energy
This type of reproduction relies solely on one parent
What is asexual reproduction?
Asexual reproduction is most common in these types of organisms.
What are unicellular organisms?
Starfish can regrow lost arms through this type of reproduction.
What is regeneration?
an organism can reproduce by budding and budding
Hydra
A major disadvantage of asexual reproduction is the lack of this.
Genetic variation
In organisms that reproduce through binary fission, mitosis results in this.
What are two identical cells?
What happens to the parent during fission?

a plant grows from a part of its parent plant
Strawberry
Raspberry
Potatoes
Geraniums
unicellular organisms that reproduce by budding
yeast
Species that reproduce asexually are more vulnerable to these.
diseases
In budding, mitosis helps the offspring grow on this.
parent organism
Asexual reproduction does not create this, which means all offspring are identical
What is genetic variation?
a process that occurs in prokaryotes like e-coli
Fission
Strawberries and bananas are commonly grown using this type of asexual reproduction.
vegetative propagation
a type of organisms that reproduce by fission.
