SCIENCE
MS. SUHAKARAN
Monday (A day) and Tuesday (B day)
Lesson: Reproduction 7.14B
In asexual reproduction, prokaryotic cells divide by binary fission, replicating
DNA from the parent and producing uniform offspring. Organisms composed of
eukaryotic cells can also reproduce asexually by forming spores, by budding, or
by vegetative propagation.
In sexual reproduction of eukaryotic organisms, the offspring receives some DNA
from both parents resulting in unique combinations of dominant and recessive
traits for each offspring.
Activity 1: Investigating Reproductive strategies by watching the video
Activity 2: Compare and contrast sexual and asexual reproduction using Venn
diagram
Homework: Picture vocabulary from Stemscope
