Classifications of asexual reproduction
- Fission
- Budding
- Fragmentation
- Regeneration
The body simply divides into 2 identical copies
Fission
A new offspring begins as a small outgrowth of the parent and may either remain attached and form a
colony, or break away and begin an independent life
Budding
Some animals when broken or shredded into many small (sometimes microscopic) pieces, each piece can regrow into a complete animal
Fragmentation
This process is most commonly used not as a form of reproduction but to replace missing or damaged parts
Regeneration
Involves the fertilization of a female’s egg by a male’s sperm
Sexual Reproduction
Classifications of Sexual Reproduction
- Monoecious Animals
- Dioecious Animals
- Protandry
- Sexual Dimorphism
- Parthenogenesis
containing both male and
female reproductive organs
Monoecious
produce either male or female reproductive organs and
gametes but never both at the same time
Dioecious
ability in some animals to switch their sex based on environmental cues
Protandry
not identical, but differ in
appearance
Sexual Demorphism
the unfertilized egg is able to develop even though it has
not been fertilized by a sperm
Pathenogenesis
