Reproduction isa fundamental feature of all the living organisms i. both plants and animals. In other ‘words, the term reproduction refers to self-duplication of organisms or the process by which species is continued, while the potential of an individual to produce offsprings per breeding event or lifetime is called reproductive JMPORTANCE OF REPRODUCTION fc feature Reproduction is an important characteris of living organisms. 1 Itisan essential life process which not only helps in survival but also helps in continuity of that race and group immortality, as by reproduction young, cones replace the old and dying ones. These young, ones feed, grow and reproduce again, 2. Reproduction also helps in increasing the population of the species. 3. Reproduction actsasa vehicle of organic evolution by transmitting advantageous variations to the olfsprings.

So, the reproduction is the only method by which continuity of thread of life is maintained. There is large diversity in the living organisms and each organism has evolved its own. ‘mechanism to multiply and produce offsprings. Process of reproduction is controlled by factors like organism’s habitat, internal physiology etc. 1. Asexual Reproduction Asexual reproduction or apomixisis the formation of new individuals without involving the formation and fusion of gametes. TL. Sexual Reproduction Sexual reproduction (amphimixis) involves fusion of two sex gametes to form new individual. It involves meiosis which occurs at the time of sporogenesis in Reproduction is of two types: flowering plants. The individuals formed as a result of 1. Asexual meiosis and gametic fusion exhibit genetic variation and IL. Sexual. different from either of two parents. Table 1.1.

Here, offsprings produced are identical and represent the exact copies of their parents. Such groups of morphologically and genetically similar individuals are called as clones, while individuals are called ramets, Apomixis, is the formation of new individuals through asexual reproduction without involving the formation and fusion of gametes. Asexual reproduction is frequent in single celled organisms and in plants and animals, with relatively simple organisations. Development of an organism from non-sexual reproductive units like buds, fragments etc,, is called blastogenesis, while the asexual reproductive body is called blastos. involved, soalso called uniparental (monoparental) reproduction. . It does not involve formation and fusion of gametes. . It involves only mitotic divisions. . Init new organismsare produced from the somatic part of parental organism, so it is also called somatogentc reproduction. >. New individuals produced are genetically similar to the parent and also to each other, as mitotic divisions produce no variations, Sot playsno role in evolution, 6. Itinvolves rapid reproduction. tis more primitive than sexual reproduction. 7. Unit of reproduction may be whole parent body, or a bud, ora body fragment, ora single somatic cell 8. It is found in lower organisms like Protistan protozoans (Amoeba, Paramecium), sponges (Scypha), coelenterates (Hydra, Tubularia, etc.), certain flat worms (Planaria), some worms and tunicates (Salpa, Ascidia, etc.). It is absent from higher invertebrates and all vertebrates. Advantages of asexual reproduction. 1. There is no need of sexual partner, 2. Under favourable conditions a large number of offsprings are produced rapidly and simply. 3. Energy consumption is low as no gametes are produced 4, Offsprings get easily adapted tosame environmental conditions as the parent and offsprings are identical. Disadvantages of asexual reproduction. 1. As there are no new combinations of genes ‘and specific variations, adaptations to changed environment becomes difficult. 2, Sometimes, so many offsprings are produced in asexual reproduction that it leads to over population. Due to this competition for space and food increases. TYPES OF ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION. Asexual reproduction is of following types : 1, FISSION It is that type of asexual reproduction in Which @ fully grown parental organism divides into two ormore than two daughter cells. In this, the reproductive unit is whole parental body. Types of Fission. On the basis of number of daughter cells produced, fission is of two types: (a) Binary fission and (b) Multiple fission. (@) Binary Fission Definition. It is division of adult parental body into two nearly equal daughter cells during favourable conditions. Occurrence. It is the simplest and most common ‘method of asexual reproduction found in protists (Ameeha, Exgiena), bacteria, green algal forms (Chlamydomonas) and planarians (flat worms) Mechanism. In binary fission, the karyokinesis, (division of nucleus) is followed by cytokinesis, so that nothings left with the parent. Daughters feed, grow and repeat the process. The organisms undergoing binary fission are called immortal as after binary fission nothing islet with the parental body so there is no natural death. ‘Types. On the basis of plane of cytokinesis, the binary fission is of three types : (i) Irregular or simple binary fission (Fig. 13 A), Here cytokinesis may take place along any plane but its plane is always perpendicular to that of karyokinesis eg, Amoetn, MODERN'S abe + OF BIOLOGY-xI Jon in Protozoans. A. regular in Amel; B. Longitudinal in Euglena; C. Transverse in Paramecium (Gi) Longitudinal binary fission (Fig. 1.3 B). Here cytokinesis takes place along longitudinal axis eg., in flagellates (Euglena) (iii) Transverse binary fission (Fig. 1.3 C). Here éytokinesis takes place along transverse axise,g,, in ciliate pprotozoans (Paramecium), In Opalint and Pefomyxs (both protozoans), the peculiar binary fission called plasmotomy occurs in which a multinucleate adult parent undergoes cytokinesis to form two multinucleate daughter cells, followed by karyokinesis in each daughter cell, In Planaria, the parent undergoes transverse binary fission (Fig. 1.4). PARENT PLANARIA DAUGHTER, PLANARIA constaICTION DAUGHTER: PLANARIA Fig. LA. Inbinary fission, whole ofbody actsasa reproductive unit. After the formation of daughter individuals, parent body disappears, Thus parent body continues to be living in the form of two daughter individuals. Thus, organisms undergoing binary fission can be called as immortal. jssion in Planaria REPRODUCTION IN ORGANISMS (b) Multiple fission Definition. It is that type of asexual reproduction {in which the parental body divides into many daughter cellssimultaneously during the unfavourable conditions to increase the chances of survival of daughter cells. In this, the reproductive unit is whole parental body. Occurrence. Multiple fission is found ina number of organisms eg. algae among plants, Plasmiodiiem malarial parasite (Fig, 15), Amceba (Fig, 1.6) and Monocysts. Mechanism. During multiple fission, the nucleus of parent divides by repeated amitosis into many nuclei, each nucleus takes a bit of cytoplasm and forms a daughter cell. Some cytoplasm of the parental body cAveTo MEROZONTES MEROZOMTE NUCLEI Fig. 1.5, Multiple fission of malarial parasite in ROC of man For example, during erythrocytic schizogony in the, life cycle of P. vivax (Fig. 1.5), the eryptomerozoite enters the RBC, feeds on the haemoglobin and other celltlar contents saprozoically and becomes fully grown and is called schizont. Then multiple fission occurs and 12-24 merozoites are formed. RBC ruptures and merozoites are released which repeat the process. Similarly in an encysted oocyst called sporont present on the stomach wall of female Anopheles host, the multiple fission called sporogony occurs and many sporozoites are formed. Similarly, Amoeba undergoes multiple fission during, unfavourable conditions in an unencysted form as well as, inencysted form (Fig. 1.6). In Ainoela, the multiple fission in encysted form is called sporulation, while the small sized amoebae released are called! pseudopodiospores. ‘YOUNG AMOEBA CYST WALL DAUGHTER, PSEUDGPODIOSPORES Some Fig. 6. Amocha : Encystment and multiple fission. 2. BUDDING It is that type of asexual reproduction in which one or more unicellular or multicellular outgrowths, called ‘buds, are formed on or inside the parental body. Mechanism. Fach multicellular outgrowth called ‘bud enlarges, develops the parental characters and then separates to lead an independent life. It feeds, grows, becomes an adult and repeats the process. Occurrence. Budding is found in sponges (Seypha), coelenterates (Hyira), annelids (Syllis) and tunicates (Salpa) among animals. Among fungi, itis found in yeasts (Fig. 1.8), buds are exogenous and unicellular. In Hydra (Fig, 1.7) and Seypha (Fig. 1.9) the budding is exogenous as the bud is formed on the outer surface of parental body while in. Spongilla (a fresh water sponge), the budding is endogenous as a number of ‘buds called gemmales are formed inside the parental body. Each gemmule (Fig 1,10) of Spongilla is a mass of undifferentiated cells, called archaeocytes, surrounded by a protective coat of amphidisk spicules. Gemmule helps in perennation and dispersal. During favourable conditions;archaeocytes come out of gemmule through ‘micropyle and form a new sponge. In Scypha (Fig. 1.9), the exogenous buds remain attached to the parental body and may develop secondary ‘buds to form a kind of colony. Unlike the binary fission, the identity of the parent body ig retained after reproduction. I Yl oeve.ors aaron ou Fig. 1.8. Budding in yeast
