Usually they can do it through one of three types of asexual reproduction: Binary fission, clonal fragmentation or budding. + + + + + + + Previous Series: Why Blood Is So Important:    • Why Do We Have Blood?   + + + + + + + Sources: Cloning: https://www.genome.gov/25020028#al-1 “The term cloning describes a number of different processes that can be used to produce genetically identical copies of a biological entity. The copied material, which has the same genetic makeup as the original, is referred to as a clone." Cloning Is Not A New Idea: The Greeks Had A Word For It Centuries Ago: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/... “The term 'cloning' originates from the Greek word clonos, meaning 'twig'; clonizo is the verb 'to cut twigs'." Reproduction, Asexual and Sexual: http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G2-3... “Organisms must reproduce and, in the context of evolution, must choose among different methods to do so. There are two major strategies for reproduction—sexual and asexual." Starfish That Clone Themselves Live Longer: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases... "Starfish that reproduce through cloning avoid ageing to a greater extent than those that propagate through sexual reproduction. This is shown by a new research study in which researchers from the University of Gothenburg participated." Science: Cloning: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebite... “Plants can make identical copies of themselves by asexual reproduction, for example by tubers and runners. Humans have been cloning plants for years and have recently started to develop techniques to clone animals." Parthenogenesis: http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/par... “Parthenogenesis is a type of asexual reproduction in which the offspring develops from unfertilized eggs. It is particularly common amongst arthropods and rotifers, can also be found in some species of fish, amphibians, birds, and reptiles, but not in mammals." Virgin Birth Not So Miraculous In Animal Kingdom: http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2012/1... “‘Tis the season for twinkling lights, wrapping paper, and virgin birth. For billions of Christians around the world, the holidays are a time to celebrate Jesus’s birth to the Virgin Mary." Identical Twins' Genes Are Not Identical: http://www.scientificamerican.com/art... “Identical twins are identical, right? After all, they derive from just one fertilized egg, which contains one set of genetic instructions, or genome, formed from combining the chromosomes of mother and father." + + + + + + + TestTube Plus is built for enthusiastic science fans seeking out comprehensive conversations on the geeky topics they love.
