Examples of reproduction in the following topics:
-
- Most importantly, reproduction is necessary for the survival of a species.
- The known methods of reproduction are broadly grouped into two main types: sexual and asexual.
- Organisms that reproduce through asexual reproduction tend to grow in number exponentially.
- Sexual reproduction ensures a mixing of the gene pool of the species.
- Female seahorses produce eggs for reproduction that are then fertilized by the male.
-
- Plants have evolved different reproductive strategies for the continuation of their species.
- Plant sexual reproduction usually depends on pollinating agents, while asexual reproduction is independent of these agents.
- Vegetative reproduction is a type of asexual reproduction.
- The flower is the reproductive organ of plants classified as angiosperms.
- The basic function of a flower is to produce seeds through sexual reproduction.
-
- Many plants are able to propagate themselves using asexual reproduction.
- Plants have two main types of asexual reproduction: vegetative reproduction and apomixis.
- Many different types of roots exhibit vegetative reproduction .
- This method of reproduction is known as apomixis.
- Different types of stems allow for asexual reproduction.
-
- Reproductive cloning, possible through artificially-induced asexual reproduction, is a method used to make a clone of an entire organism.
- Reproductive cloning is a method used to make a clone or an identical copy of an entire multicellular organism.
- This idea forms the basis for reproductive cloning.
- It can be used for either therapeutic cloning or reproductive cloning.
- The success rate of reproductive cloning at the time was very low.
-
- Therefore, a prezygotic barrier is a mechanism that blocks reproduction from taking place; this includes barriers that prevent fertilization when organisms attempt reproduction.
- Some types of prezygotic barriers prevent reproduction entirely.
- Reproduction with the parent species ceases and a new group exists that is now reproductively and genetically independent.
- These two related frog species exhibit temporal reproductive isolation.
- Reproductive organ incompatibility keeps the species reproductively isolated.
-
- They may be released from the parent thallus, either outside or within a special reproductive sac called a sporangium.
- Sexual reproduction introduces genetic variation into a population of fungi.
- In fungi, sexual reproduction often occurs in response to adverse environmental conditions.
- Although there are many variations in fungal sexual reproduction, all include the following three stages .
- Fungi may utilize both asexual and sexual stages of reproduction; sexual reproduction often occurs in response to adverse environmental conditions.
-
- Sexual reproduction was an early evolutionary innovation after the appearance of eukaryotic cells.
- In many animals, it is actually the only mode of reproduction.
- Scientists recognize some real disadvantages to sexual reproduction.
- In addition, in asexual populations, every individual is capable of reproduction.
- There are several possible explanations, one of which is that the variation that sexual reproduction creates among offspring is very important to the survival and reproduction of the population.
-
- Several competing scientific hypotheses have been proposed to explain the evolution of sexual reproduction.
- The evolution of reproductive organs arrived with the development of gonads that produced sperm and eggs .
- An early development in reproduction occurred in the Annelids.
- Further evolution of reproductive systems resulted in the development of reproductive systems that are sex specific.
- Another development in the evolution of reproduction is the means by which sperm is transferred.
-
- Asexual and sexual reproduction, two methods of reproduction among animals, produce offspring that are clones or genetically unique.
- The queen bee controls the reproduction of the hive bees to regulate the type of bee produced.
- Sexual reproduction is the combination of (usually haploid, or having a single set of unpaired chromosomes) reproductive cells from two individuals to form a third (usually diploid, or having a pair of each type of chromosome) unique offspring.
- Sexual reproduction produces offspring with novel combinations of genes.
- Hermaphroditism occurs in animals where one individual has both male and female reproductive parts.
-
- Most animals undergo sexual reproduction and have similar forms of development dictated by Hox genes.
- Most animals are diploid organisms (their body, or somatic, cells are diploid) with haploid reproductive (gamete) cells produced through meiosis.
- The majority of animals undergo sexual reproduction.
- This fact distinguishes animals from fungi, protists, and bacteria where asexual reproduction is common or exclusive.
- However, for animals that are limited in their capacity to attract mates, asexual reproduction can ensure genetic propagation.
