during the evolution of species – various ways of reproduction • 2 general types: • asexual and sexual • asexual: • evolutionary older, more primitive • sexual: • more perfect • typical for complex multicellular organisms REPRODUCTION
by unicellular organisms • by plants (non-vascular plants) • also lower animals • A new individual develops: • => from a separated part of parents´ organism • => from body cells ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
genetic point of view: • organism is a direct continuance of its parent • completely identical with the parent • a set of identical individuals = a clone • it is advantageous for species adapted to non changeable environment ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
the most common ways of asexual reproduction: • cell division and germination > yeast • reproduction by spores > fungi • vegetative organs > plants (sprouts, rootstocks, tubers, bulbs…) ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
asexual reproduction relates to the regeneration – substitution of lost tissue • the base of chipping in agriculture and plant breeding • a complete parallel to chipping is physiparia by animals (cnidarians, earthworms) ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
Special sexual organs • Sexual cells = gametes • By the Fusion of two gametes develops a zygote • zygote divides mitotically and grows • the embryo develops • The embryo (new individual) grows SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
gametes develop from body cells into sexual cells • male and female individuals differ in shape and function sexual signs • male gametes of higher plants: generative nucleus • nucleus of pollen tubes • female gametes of higher plants: egg cells SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
male gametes of animals: sperms • female gametes of animals: eggs SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
developing individual is provided by a complex of genes • the individual is not equal with any of his/her parents • genes are a combination of 50 % genes from father and 50 % genes from mother • it ensures the variability of individuals in the species • significantly more advantageous than sexual reproduction SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
