Asexual Reproduction and Its Types
- In asexual reproduction, a single individual (parent) is capable of producing offspring.
- As a result, the offspring that are produced are not only identical to one another but are also exact copies of their parents.
- The term clone is used to describe such morphologically and genetically similar individuals.
- Asexual reproduction is common among single-celled organisms, and in plants and animals with relatively simple organisations.
- In Protists and Monerans, the organism or the parent cell divides by mitosis into two to give rise to new individuals.
- Thus, in these organisms cell division is itself a mode of reproduction.
Characteristics of Asexual Reproduction:
- A single parent is involved.
- Gametes are not formed.
- Fertilization does not occur.
- Cell division occurs through mitosis.
- Offsprings are genetically identical to the parent.
