asexual reproduction vs sexual reproduction
Definitions
noun
- reproduction without the fusion of gametes
Examples
As for asexual reproduction, the authors discuss why vegetative reproduction works so well for so many aquatic plants: rhizomatous growth (clonal growth), as well as reproduction through fragmentation and the production of corms, stolons, tubers, turions and gemmiparous plantlets.
During this period, each polyp is capable of budding new polyps though asexual reproduction in spring.
Workers at both hatcheries keep the plants healthy and repot the tillers, the product of asexual reproduction, which grow into mature plants.
Definitions
noun
- reproduction involving the union or fusion of a male and a female gamete
Examples
That notion identifies heritability with the regression of the offspring phenotype on the parental (or biparental mean in the case of sexual reproduction), where both phenotypes are presented as z-scores (i.e., set to mean = 0 and standard deviation = 1).
As for asexual reproduction, the authors discuss why vegetative reproduction works so well for so many aquatic plants: rhizomatous growth (clonal growth), as well as reproduction through fragmentation and the production of corms, stolons, tubers, turions and gemmiparous plantlets.
Reproductive modes include sexual reproduction and parthenogenesis, but much remains to be known about development.
