  2. Budding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budding

    Budding or blastogenesis is a type of asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site. For example, the small bulb-like projection coming out from the yeast cell is known as a bud.

  3. Evolution of sexual reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_sexual...

    This diagram illustrates how sex might create novel genotypes more rapidly. Two advantageous alleles A and B occur at random. The two alleles are recombined rapidly in a sexual population (top), but in an asexual population (bottom) the two alleles must independently arise because of clonal interference.

  4. Reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproduction

    [6] [7] Sexual reproduction is a biological process that creates a new organism by combining the genetic material of two organisms in a process that starts with meiosis , a specialized type of cell division .

  5. Vegetative reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetative_reproduction

    Plant propagation is the process of plant reproduction of a species or cultivar, and it can be sexual or asexual. It can happen through the use of vegetative parts of the plants, such as leaves, stems, and roots to produce new plants or through growth from specialized vegetative plant parts.

  6. Bud - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bud

    [3] Often it is possible to find a bud in a remarkable series of gradations of bud scales. In the buckeye, for example, one may see a complete gradation from the small brown outer scale through larger scales which on unfolding become somewhat green to the inner scales of the bud, which are remarkably leaf-like. Such a series suggests that the ...

  7. Hydra vulgaris - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydra_vulgaris

    Budding occurs when conditions are favorable; proper water temperature and enough food are the major factors. A miniature adult hydra will grow out of the body of the parent hydra. Once fully developed, it will separate from the parent and continue the life cycle.

  8. Mating of yeast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mating_of_yeast

    [3] a cells respond to α-factor, the α cell mating pheromone, by growing a projection (known as a shmoo, due to its distinctive shape resembling the Al Capp cartoon character Shmoo) towards the source of α-factor. [4] Similarly, α cells produce α-factor, and respond to a-factor by growing a projection towards the source of the pheromone. [5]
