This document provides information about different types of reproduction, including asexual and sexual reproduction. It describes various methods of asexual reproduction like binary fission, budding, spore formation, regeneration, and vegetative reproduction. It also outlines sexual reproduction processes like conjugation, pollination, and fertilization. Tables are included that give examples of specific organisms that undergo different asexual and sexual reproduction methods. Students are asked questions to test their understanding of the differences between asexual and sexual reproduction in terms of the number of parents involved and the genetic similarity between parents and offspring.

Activity 1: Types of Reproduction Directions: Read and understand the information given. Complete the table below by filling out the data given and answer the following guide questions. Write your answers on your answer sheet. Types of Reproduction: 1. Asexual Reproduction Occurs when only one parent produces an offspring which has the exact genetic make-up with the parent. This type of reproduction Mostly occurs in single-celled organisms such as bacteria; some multicellular organisms such as fungi; and some plants. The different types of asexual reproduction are: 1. Vegetative reproduction Form of asexual reproduction in plants that occurs when a new plant develops from a fragment of the parent plant or a specialized reproductive structure (rhizome, tuber, corm, or bulb) Example: Cactus plants which can reproduce through its leaves 2. Binary fission The cell divides to form two identical daughter cells. Each daughter cell grows until it becomes as large as the parent cell. Example: Amoeba cell reproduces by dividing. 3. Budding New identical individual forms as an outgrowth of the parent. The outgrowth detaches from the parent and becomes a new individual. Example: yeast, hydra, and sponges 4. Spore Formation Spores are stored in sacs called Sporangia. When the Sporangia bursts open; minute single-celled structures called spores are released. Under favorable conditions, these spores develop into a new identical organism. Example: Bread mold
1 5. Regeneration Severed parts of the organisms grow into another organism similar to it. Example: when a hydra is cut into several pieces, a process known as fragmentation, each piece can grow into another hydra and in certain types of starfish, an arm that breaks off from the body can grow into a new individual. 2. Sexual Reproduction Involves the merging of genetic information from two individual parents to produce a new organism that is a combination of both parents. It occurs in most complex organisms. The following are the different ways on how representative microorganisms, plants, and animals reproduce sexually: 1. Conjugation This type of sexual reproduction occurs when two organisms of the same species temporarily unite to merge one organism's contents, along with its genetic material, with the other. One organism is left with an empty shell while the other becomes a new individual. Example: Spirogyra (green alga) 2. Pollination Combines the male and female gametes of a flower and it happens when a pollen grain of the right kind lands on the stigma of the pistil. Example: bees transfer pollen of a male flower to the female flower. 3. Fertilization A type of sexual reproduction that combines the male and female gametes of an organism to form a zygote. Example: Humans reproduce through fertilization.
