Types of Asexual Reproduction Part 2

This document discusses different types of asexual reproduction in yeasts, molds, and plants. It explains that yeast reproduces through budding, where a new smaller cell buds off from the parent cell and eventually grows to the same size. Molds reproduce using spores, which are released from structures called sporangium and can grow into new mold if they land in a favorable environment. Plants can reproduce asexually through vegetative propagation, where new plants grow from roots, stems, or leaves of the parent plant through methods like runners in strawberries, eyes in potatoes, and grafting or cutting in trees.

Types of Asexual

Reproduction
Part 2!
•Yeasts are unicellular eukaryotic micro-organisms
•Commonly used to make dough, bread, pretzels, soy sauce,
cheese, vinegar
•Reproduce by asexual reproduction: budding
Asexual Reproduction in Yeast: Budding

Budding:
Yeast cell grows a bud that pinches
off to become a separate cell
New cell is smaller than original cell
at first
 Eventually grows to the same size
as other yeast cells

Hydras and Sea sponges also use this


reproduction method
Question!
How are Yeasts and Bacteria similar?
Different?
Compare the way in which both reproduce.

As a group come up with one similarity and


one difference
Yeast Reproduction Lab 
What has happened?
Scenario:
One day at school you don’t finish your sandwich at lunch. You put in your locker to
save it for later. You wrap the sandwich in plastic nd put it in your locker.
Unfortunately you forgot about the sandwich  A week later you find it in the back
of your locker but it is now covered with a black fuzzy material……How did this
happen?
Concept 4: Moulds reproduce using spores.

Moulds are composed of many eukaryotic


cells
Reproduce by asexual reproduction using
spores
The fuzzy/hairy appearance comes from how
the long threadlike cells weave together.
Mould can break down food to use as
nutrients
Moulds have structures that help it anchor to
the food.
Figure 1.12: Moulds
reproduce using spores.
Asexual Reproduction in Moulds: Spores
Moulds form spores that are
genetically identical to the
mould cells they come from
Spores are released into the
air from a structure called a
sporangium
When a spore lands in a
favourable environment
(warm, moist), it grows and
divides by mitosis and
cytokinesis
Figure 1.12: Moulds
reproduce using spores.
Concept 5: Plants have many ways to reproduce asexually.

Plants reproduce sexually and asexually


Asexual reproduction: Vegetative propagation
 New plants grow from a portion of the roots, stems, or leaves from an
existing plant
New plants are clones (copies) of the parent plant

Figure 1.13: If you look closely at a


field of strawberry plants, you will
see smaller plants growing near a
larger plant. These smaller plants
are new plants that grow along
runners. Runners are like stems
that grow horizontally, above the
ground, from a full-grown plant.
Eventually runners die, leaving
independent, identical plants.
Vegetative Propagation: Example

Potatoes:
New roots and shoots grow
from the eyes of a potato
If you plant a potato with this
new growth, a potato plant
will develop
The new plant will be
identical to the parent plant

Figure 1.13
Artificial Vegetative Propagation
Artificial vegetative
propagation uses techniques
to produce plants with specific
characteristics
Example: Grafting
A bud, stem, or root is cut
from one plant and joined
to another
Used to produce trees with
high-quality fruit or
resistance to disease
Examples of Artificial Vegetative
Propagation
I will give each group a
number
#1-Splitting Your job is to create a short
#2- Grafting presentation including some
sort of visual (ie poster,
#3- Cutting powerpoint, ad etc) to explain
your type of Vegetative
#4- Simple Layering propagation
#5- Air Layering
#6-Tissue Culture
