INTROBUCTION,
Reproduction (also called procreation or breeding)
is the biological process by which new individual
organisms, called offsprings, are produced from their
parents. 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

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

LIFE SPAN
‘The period from birth to the natural death of an
onganism represents its life span. Every organism has a
specificaverage life span. It means every organism grows
and lives for a particular length of time. Life span may
range from one day to 4000 years.
Life span depends upon four stages :

|. ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION Characteristics
Definition. It is that type of reproduction in which 1 In asexual reproduction, only one parent is
there is no formation and fusion of gametes. 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,

Jon in Protozoans. A. regular

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).

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.

(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

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.

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.
