Document Summary

Asexual reproduction involves only one parent who passes on the genetic information to their offspring. This sharing of genetic information makes the offspring identical to the parent. Binary fission - only single-celled organisms reproduce in this way. One parent may produce many spores, each of which will grow into a new individual, identical to its parent. (fungi, green algae, moulds, ferns). Many spores are produced to ensure that at least some of the individual organisms will survive. Zoospores can also be produced by some fungi and green algae. They move using tail-like flagella: asexual reproduction in plants. A plants continues to grow throughout its life. The rapidly growing tips of roots and stems contain specialized reproductive cells called meristem. At a certain time these cells will specialize into cells that make up roots, stems and leaves. If parts of the plant are damaged, the meristem cells make repairs.
