What are the two ways of reproduction?

Sexual (when they use two of different genders) and Asexual (when they are born 'pregnant'.)


1How are the modes for reproduction different in unicellular and multicellular organisms?

In unicellular organisms, reproduction occurs by the division of the entire cell. The modes of reproduction in unicellular organisms can be fission, budding, etc. whereas in multicellular organisms, specialised reproductive organs are present. Therefore, they can reproduce by complex reproductive methods such as vegetative propagation, spore formation, etc. In more complex multicellular organisms such as human beings and plants, the mode of reproduction is sexual reproduction.


What is the basis for placing the fungi into different phyla?

Fungi are currently placed into different phyla based on their from of sexual reproduction. Currently seven different phyla have been proposed including: * Chytridiomycota * Blastocladiomycota * Neocallimastiogomycota * Zygomycota * Glomeromcota * Ascomycota * Basidiomycota Reproduction modes and structures


What is the classification of fungi?

Fungal nomenclature follows the International Botanical Code of Nomenclature. The criteria for the different taxonomic categories are different for each phylum. However, much of the classification is based on sexual reproduction or, when that is not present, asexual reproduction. (For some groups, both modes of reproduction are used.)


Are all living things able to produce?

Yes. But their modes of reproduction could be different. Some would reproduce asexually while some reproduce sexually.

Does a rose use asexual or sexual reproduction?

There are both sexual and asexual modes of pollination. If the male and female parts make physical contace in order for germination to take place, it is a sexual mode of pollination. Pollination could also be brought about by insects and other natural elements like seeds that have evolved to float through the wind or flow down a river


What modes of reproduction is incapable of producing clones?

Sexual reproduction does not produce clones. This is because DNA from two parents is used to produce an offspring.


What are the different modes of reproduction of plants and animals?

I think the question regard every living organism, not only animals. Sexual - when two gometes - one from male, aka spermatozoan- and the other from female, aka egg cell, fuse to form a diploid zygote which eventually develop as a new individual: this type of reproduction allows variation. Asexual - when an individual is grown up from the other organism and it splits from the mother organism (eg: binary fission in bacteria, or budding in plants) : new organism is identical to its parent.


How can both asexsual reproduction a sexsual repruduction allow for the survival of a species?

The two modes of reproduction are favored under different conditions.


What is meant by modes of propagation?

Modes of Propagation = different ways to continue and/or increase the number of a given species. Example: sexual reproduction.

How do you explain how diatoms reproduce?

Diatoms can reproduce in two different modes, sexual and asexual. They also may pass through a seed-like phase known as the resting spore. www.mbari.org
