Reproduction
• Process of producing similar or nearly similar species by an
organism.
• every living organism will have a tendency to increase in its
number
• reproduce to form new individuals known as offspring
• it can be asexual or sexual reproduction
• in asexual reproduction, no gametes or sex cell involved, does not
involve fertilization
• single parent with no genetic material mixing or no genetic
variation.
• All offspring are genetically and morphologically identical, plants,
fungi , bacteria (binary fission/mitosis )
• Bacterial cell divide by binary fission and become independent
species.
• genetic material replicate and move either side ,new cell wall grow
between and divide.
• It is quick process some divide every 20mins. 8 bacteria in 5hr it
Asexual reproduction in fungi
• both asexual and sexual reproduction
(Basidiomycotina)
• Occurs through haploid spores
• eg: mushroom, penicillium, mucor, puffball
• spores are carried by air and develop under
suitable condition.
• penicillium have vertical spores.
• mucor have sporangia with thousands od
spores.
• mushroom gills produces spores
• puffball releases clouds of spores.
Asexual reproduction in flowering plants
• also termed as vegetative propagation
• lateral buds formed close to the soil
develop into a complete plant.
• Types- stolon(runner), rhizome, bulb and
corms.
• stolon-lateral buds grows horizontally
and develop roots and produces new
plant. horizontal elongation is called
runner or stolon.
• rhizome-lateral buds grow underground ,
develop and produce shoots above the
ground
Asexual reproduction in flowering plants
• bulb- short shoot, freshly thick stem
• food is stored in leaf base, used by
lateral buds to develop
• corms- stem stores the food. crocus
• in bryophyllum -leaf produces new
plantlets on leaf margin
• tuber- shoot rhizomes. potato
• ARTIFICIAL PROPAGATION
• cutting
• tissue culture
Asexual reproduction in animals
• Hydra- small freshwater
invertebrate
• has tentacles, cells of column
rapidly divides forming bulge of
bud,
• bud increase in size and develop
tentacles
• daughter hydra detach and attach
to ground
• amoeba
Advantage and disadvantage
• genetically identical , no gametes
• uniform crop yield
• stores more food and develop when condition is suitable
• dense colonies as no dispersal and provide no space for other species
• DISADVANTAGES
• no variants developed
• resistant to disease is carried to offspring
• self competition due to dense colonies
Sexual reproduction
• involves gametes or sex cell both male and female gametes.
• cell division is by meiosis, haploid number of chromosomes fuses to form diploid
• nuclei and cytoplasm fuse to form zygote (fertilization)
• in plants- pollen grains move down the pollen tube to ovules
• in animals - sperm moves to egg/ovum
• Always male gametes are motile and small than female gametes.
• pollination in plants and mating in animals
• in sexual reproduction - range of variation is produced and genetically different ,
some may be successful some may less success.
• seeds will produced and dispersed forming new colonies in new areas
• cross breeding- crops high yield, high disease resistance. - loss of natural genes
Sexual reproduction in plants
• Male reproductive organ -stamen.
• female reproductive organ -carpels
• same flower, same plant with different
flower(hazel, banana), different plant for
different flower(willow, date palm, some
species os papaya).
• Pollination - bringing male gamete(pollen
grains) near female gamete(ovule), pollen
tube develops.
Structure of a flower
• petal- brightly colored and scented, 4-10,
no all flowers, som are fused
• sepal - green, smaller than petal, protects
in bud stage
• stamen- anther and filament, many or few
present in same flower, has four pollen sac
with pollen grains, ripen and pollen
released.
Structure of a flower
• Pollen - male gamete, smooth and
light(wind), sticky, tiny spikes(insect)
• carpel-
many(buttercup)/single(hibiscus),
style and stigma, has one or more
ovule inside the ovary, ovule-seed,
ovary-fruit. stigma(long/short) has
sticky surface for pollen attachment.
• receptacle- extended flower stalk
Lupin and pollination
• inflorescence - groups of flowers
• about 100 individual flowers
• joined five sepal forms a tube, different shape and
size.
• standard(1) and wings(2), inside a boat shaped
keel(2)
• one long carpel with more than 10 ovules. 10
stamen (5 long 5 short)
• fused filament at the base of ovary
• pollinated by insect.
• Pollen carried to stigma, insect/wind
• self pollination- pollination in same plant
• limited variation, can happen without pollinators.
• cross pollination- different plant but same species
• variation, rely on pollinators.
Fertilisation
• Male cell and female cell fuse to form
zygote. (genetic material from both
gametes), zygote develops into
embryo
• Pollen tube grown from the grain into
the ovary, with small opening -
micropyle
• nuclei of male cell moves down and
combine with female cell nuclei
• some plants are self sterile- don’t
accept pollen from same plant.
Adaptation and germination
• Flowers gets adapted for pollination
(wind/insect)
• development of plant from seed -
germination
• seed has less water content and wait
for soil water situation to grow
• Radicel grown out the seed coat(testa),
grows down, has root cap, develops
lateral roots.
• Hypocotyl(embryo stem)elongates and
moves upward and pull cotyledon out
the soil.
• hypocotyl straighten up and leaves of
plumule(shoot of the seed) opens.
• temperature, water and oxygen affects
germination
