He added that by combining the BBM1 expression method with this MiMe method, the authors showed that in some cases they could skip normal sexual reproduction and instead reproduce rice
asexually. This results in the production of seeds is ultimately a clone of the parent plant.
Tetrathyridia that we observed with a dissecting microscope were
asexually proliferative by means of multiple and binary fission.
A gray smudge on a sunflower seed head might just be the
asexually reproducing counterpart of a tiny satellite dish-shaped thing.
The ability to reproduce
asexually was then established in Holothuria hilla [38, 54].
How doesn't it reproduce?" said Nelson, explaining that the algae can reproduce sexually or
asexually -- making spores and even fragmenting and regenerating itself.
Plant Patent: issued for a new invention or discovery of an

The study, first funded in 2011 and continuing until 2015, will study the New Zealand snails to see if it is better that they reproduce sexually or
asexually -the snail can do both -hoping to gain insight on why so many organisms practice sexual reproduction.
Myriad factors remain unexplored in this species, including the ploidy of sexually and
asexually produced eggs, the effects of parasites or other considerations of co-evolution (e.g., the Red Queen Hypothesis), and the accumulation of deleterious mutations (e.g., Muller's Ratchet).
Targeting this foundation species is the invasive pest hemlock woolly adelgid, which reproduces
asexually and literally sucks the life out of trees.
Because many hawthorn species produce seeds
asexually, yet are also capable of hybridizing, their hybrids are often common and locally abundant.
Perhaps, like the yeast in the ale they love, they've learnt to reproduce
asexually by depositing spores in warm corners of badly-ventilated pubs?
This is because bacteria reproduce
asexually, and each isolate will not exhibit a unique type of fingerprint.
