Reproduction - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Budding = When the new organism (offspring) grows as an outgrowth from the body of the parent. Here, the new individual starts growing as a small body on one side of the parent organism and continues growing in size while still attached to the parent. At one point, it finally detaches and becomes an independent organism without loosing the characteristic of being genetically identical to the parent. Example: Hydra´s reproduction (https://www.microscopemaster.com/budding.html)
      - Vegetative Propagation = When new plants are obtained from plant parts such as the stem, leaves and roots without the help of reproductive organs. Example: Potato´s reproduction (https://www.toppr.com/ask/question/what-is-vegetative-propagation-explain-vegetative-propagation-in-bryophyllum-with/)
      - Spore Formation = When plants produce hundreds of spores and the sac containing spores get burst. These spores get spread into the air and under favorable conditions, they get germinated and developed into a new plant. Example: Mushroom fungi´s reproduction (https://www.tutorix.com/question/57865/what-is-spore-formation-give-five-example-of-it)
      - Parthenogenesis = When the production of offspring occurs in the absence of any male genetic contribution. Females produce unfertilized eggs that will develop into viable embryos (Neaves and Baumann, 2011). Example: Komodo Dragon´s reproduction (they can reproduce sexually and asexually)
      - Fragmentation = When a piece of the body, or fragment, of the parent organism breaks off and that fragment develops into an independent offspring that is genetically identical to the parent. Example: Starfish/Sea Star´s reproduction (https://study.com/learn/lesson/fragmentation-asexual-reproduction-concept-examples.html)
      - Binary Fission = During binary fission, the chromosome copies itself, forming two genetically identical copies. Then, the cell enlarges and divides into two new daughter cells. The two daughter cells are identical to the parent cell. Example: Bacteria´s reproduction (https://flexbooks.ck12.org/cbook/ck-12-middle-school-life-science-2.0/section/5.4/primary/lesson/bacteria-reproduction-ms-ls/)
- - - - As in sexual reproduction all organisms are genetically different, traits can be expressed in different ways. Different expressed traits could be beneficial in the case of environmental changes. For example, in the dry season of the year, darker colored grasshoppers are more likely to survive than lighter colored grasshoppers because their color allows them to camouflage themselves from predators.
