REPRODUCTION AND EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENT

REPRODUCTION AND
EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENT
REPRODUCTION AND EMBRYONIC
DEVELOPMENT
• SEXUAL AND ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION ARE BOTH
COMMON AMONG ANIMALS
– REPRODUCTION
• THE CREATION OF NEW INDIVIDUALS FROM EXISITING ONES
– ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
• CREATION OF OFFSPRING WHOSE GENES ALL COME FROM
ONE PARENT WITHOUT THE FUSION OF EGG AND SPERM
• EXAMPLES INCLUDE
– BUDDING
– FISSION
– FRAGMENTATION
» ALWAYS
FOLLOWED BY
REGENERATION
REPRODUCTION AND EMBRYONIC
DEVELOPMENT
