2. Asexual reproduction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexual_reproduction

   Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes or change in the number of chromosomes. The offspring that arise by asexual reproduction from either unicellular or multicellular organisms inherit the full set of genes of their single parent and thus the newly created individual is genetically and ...

3. Plant reproduction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_reproduction

   Asexual reproduction in plants occurs in two fundamental forms, vegetative reproduction and agamospermy. [1] Vegetative reproduction involves a vegetative piece of the original plant producing new individuals by budding, tillering , etc. and is distinguished from apomixis , which is a replacement of sexual reproduction, and in some cases ...

4. Androgenesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androgenesis

   Androgenesis is a system of asexual reproduction that requires the presence of eggs and occurs when a zygote is produced with only paternal nuclear genes.During standard sexual reproduction, one female parent and one male parent each produce haploid gametes (such as a sperm or egg cell, each containing only a single set of chromosomes), which recombine to create offspring with genetic material ...

5. Selection methods in plant breeding based on mode of reproduction

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_methods_in_plant...

   Certain restrictions caused the mechanisms for self-fertilization (partial and full self-fertilization) to develop in a number of plant species. Some of the reasons why a self-fertilizing method of reproduction is so effective are the efficacy of reproduction, as well as decreasing genetic variation and thus the fixation of highly adapted ...

6. Parthenogenesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenogenesis

   This form of asexual reproduction is thought in some cases to be a serious threat to biodiversity for the subsequent lack of gene variation and potentially decreased fitness of the offspring. [ 39 ] Some invertebrate species that feature (partial) sexual reproduction in their native range are found to reproduce solely by parthenogenesis in ...

7. Reproduction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproduction

   By asexual reproduction, an organism creates a genetically similar or identical copy of itself. The evolution of sexual reproduction is a major puzzle for biologists. The two-fold cost of sexual reproduction is that only 50% of organisms reproduce [ 1 ] and organisms only pass on 50% of their genes .

8. Acyrthosiphon pisum - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acyrthosiphon_pisum

   Asexual reproduction - Pea aphid lineages include parthenogenesis in their life cycles, and some have even lost the sexual phase. Pea aphids are models for deciphering the origin and consequences of asexual reproduction, [ 17 ] [ 18 ] an important question in evolutionary biology .

9. Cloning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloning

   This is an asexual form of reproduction that is only found in females of some insects, crustaceans, nematodes, [24] fish (for example the hammerhead shark [25]), Cape honeybees, [26] and lizards including the Komodo dragon [25] and several whiptails. The growth and development occurs without fertilization by a male.
