Two Kinds of Reproduction
Asexual Reproduction
- only one parent is needed to reproduce a living thing.
Sexual Reproduction
– two parents are needed to produce a new living thing by contributing one sex cell each.
Four Basic Method of Asexual Reproduction among Plants
Fission- the cell splits into two similar new cells.
Ex: algae and fungi
Budding- the bud splits off and then develops into a new cell.
Sporulation- produce spores, each spore grows into a complete new plant.
Vegetation Propagation- a part of a plant grows into a new plant that is complete because of the process called regeneration.
