Asexual Reproduction
NAME: KAMAINE WILLIAMSON
GRADE: 10C
TEACHER: MR. THOMPSON
SUBJECT: AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE

I would like to thank my father- Mr. Keyble Williamson and my mother- Mrs. Ann Williamson for their continuous support and encouragement. Also to Mr. Thompson my Agricultural Science teacher for giving me this project so I can be inform more about Asexual Reproduction.

Fore mostly, I would like to thank God Almighty for giving me the knowledge and understanding completing this project.

A form of asexual reproduction in plants, in which multicellular structures become detached from the parent plant and develop into new individuals that are genetically identical to the parent plant. For example, liverworts and mosses form small clumps of tissue (called gemmae) that are dispersed by splashing raindrops to form new plants. Bulbs, corms, offsets, rhizomes, runners, suckers, and tubers are all important means of vegetative reproduction and propagation in cultivated plants.

1. Binary Fusion
The type of division, in which two individuals are formed from a single individual, is called binary fusion. This is the simplest method of asexual reproduction which is found in unicellular organisms. The cells divide into two daughter cells. The daughter cells are morphologically and genetically identical. In this method, the nucleus first divides amitotically into two, which is followed by the division of the cytoplasm. The cell finally splits into two daughter cells. Binary fission occurs under favourable environmental conditions. In plants binary fission can be seen in bacteria, yeast and euglena.

2. Multiple Fission
The type of division, in which many individuals are formed a single individual, is called multiple

    closely related to Neurospora and Podospora, is a member of the numerous class Pyrenomycetes or flask-fungi. The natural habitat of the three species of Sordaria that have been the principal subjects in genetic studies is the dung of herbivorous animals. The species S. fimicola is common and worldwide in distribution. The species of Sordaria are similar morphologically, producing black perithecia containing asci with eight dark ascospores in a linear arrangement. These species share a number of characteristics that are advantageous for genetic studies.…

    There are many methods people can use to reduce plastic pollution. They can reduce, reuse, and recycle. This is the oldest method that is effective if done correctly. They can buy recyclable products with little or no packaging. Buying these products will reduce the use of plastic and will reduce recycling needs which will lead to a cleaner Earth. They can also use biodegradable plastics so we don’t have to worry so much about plastic pollution. Keeping storm drains clean and never littering will also help reduce the plastic that end up in the oceans. Everyone can join the banning of plastic bags which will reduce a significant amount of plastic pollution. Refusing to use disposables and choose to use reusable or Tupperware products. This can reduce plastic pollution because instead of just throwing the container away after using it, it can be washed and reused. People can also help to clean up your local beaches. This will help to reduce the amount of litter and plastic pollution that will eventually end up in the ocean. If one cannot help clean up the beaches, they can make donations to help the clean-up. There are a number of organizations people can donate to such as the Natural Resources Defense Council or NRDC. NRDC is one of the nation’s most effective action groups. They work to safeguard the earth — its people, its plants and animals, and the natural systems on which all life depends.…

    On the other hand, there are many contrasts such that there is only one cell division in mitosis as there is two cell divisions in meiosis. These phases are called meiosis one and meiosis two. Another contrast is that mitosis produces only two daughter cells whereas meiosis produces four haploid daughter cells. These daughter cells come out exactly the same in mitosis but not in meiosis because the chromosomes exchange DNA strips with one another and four daughter cells are produced to mix the DNA. Typically, mitosis is a form of reproduction in prokaryotic organisms because they only have one cell whereas meiosis is a form of reproduction in eukaryotic organisms because they have many cells. In other words, mitosis is a form of asexual reproduction where one cell splits and forms two new cells and meiosis is a form of sexual reproduction that requires the union of a sperm and egg for this process to occur.…

    Asexual Propagation is the process of using plant materials such as the stems, leaves, and roots to multiply the number of plants. These plants eventually grow to be a brand new plant that is genetically identical to the parent plant it came from. In several types of plants, asexual propagation is the fastest means of new plant growth. Asexual propagation is also a good way to maintain a plant species because they are genetically identical. In this process, adventitious roots are seen in the growing cycle. Adventitious roots are those that grow form parts of the plant that they normally would not grow from. The cuttings must do this in order to form a completely new plant. There are multiple methods of asexual propagation; some include cuttings, layering, division, and budding/grafting. This experiment is designed to look into the method of using cuttings for asexual propagation and the success of the plant parts. As this experiment goes on more herbaceous and succulent plants will root quicker than woody plants.…

    Reproduction was an immediate issue because the plants could not carry out future generations without an aquatic environment for reproduction. They developed flowers, which have distinct and pleasurable shapes, colors, smells, chemicals, and nectar to attract insects and birds, which help in pollination. Males developed microspores, which is pollen, and a reduced gametophytes. The pollen grain became very light weighted and easily blown about in order to increase motility. It is now possible for pollination to occur by wind, insects. In fact, many plants can even self-pollinate.…

    IV. During the process of meiosis, diploid cells split in half, forming four haploid cells, which each have a single set of chromosomes. These cells are called either gametes or sex cells. Female gametes are egg and male gametes are sperm. Two meiotic divisions occur known as meiosis I and meiosis II, and each one of these divisions have four stages, which are; prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.…

    The first aspect to conceive for the difference between the two types of reproduction is their parent. Asexual and sexual reproduction are alike because they both need at least one parent, however asexual reproduction needs only one parent, while sexual reproduction needs one or two parents. In addition, when asexual reproduction reproduces, it will make two genetically identical cells, two offspring. However, for sexual reproduction, there need be two sex cells that fuse because the offspring will be a combination of the male and female DNA in…
