Sponges may reproduce sexually or asexually. Oddly, most sponges are both male and female and play either role when sexually reproducing. The male releases sperm into the water, and if/when they reach a female, there is fertilization; a larva is released back into the water. The larvae find a suitable location to latch on, then begin the growth phase. Sponges use "budding" to accomplish this asexually. Basically, a piece of the sponge breaks off and is still a viable, living organism. It simply settles down and begins growing again.
What else can I help you with?
Can you give examples of organism that reproduce by budding?
Organisms, such as single-celled yeasts, sponges, and hydra can produce offspring by budding.
What does to produce offspring mean?
"Produce offspring" means, quite simply, to have babies.
What is an organism that can mate and produce offspring that can also mate and produce offspring?
Heterosexual
2 organisms that produce a low number of offspring?
Elephants and humans produce low numbers of offspring. Organisms that produce low numbers of offspring produce offspring that are most dependent on the mothers.
Do organisms have to be the the same species in order to breed and produce offspring?
No, organisms of different species can breed and produce offspring. Donkeys and horses can breed and produce mules but mules cannot produce offspring.
How does fragmentation in sponges differ from reproduction in reptiles?
Fragmentation in sponges involves breaking off a piece of the sponge that grows into a new individual, while reproduction in reptiles usually involves sexual reproduction where eggs are fertilized internally or externally. Sponges can regenerate lost parts easily through fragmentation, while reptiles rely on more complex reproductive strategies to produce offspring.
What group of similar organisms can produce offspring?
a group of similar organisms can produce offspring
What is a group of organisms that are physically similar and can mate and produce offspring that can in turn mate and produce offspring?
A species.
Which animal could a bulldog mate with to produce offspring?
A bulldog is a dog and can mate a dog to produce offspring .
Sexual reproduction in sponges produce an organism are called?
Sporophyte
For two organisms to be members of the same species what must be true of the offspring?
The offspring must be able to reproduce and produce fertile offspring of their own. This means that they are able to interbreed and pass on their genes to the next generation.
How many offspring do koalas produce?
Koalas produce a single offspring, just once a year. On rare occasions, they may produce twins.
