Examples Natural Cloning Animals Form Identical Produce Describe

This flashcard asks for five examples of natural cloning in animals, such as starfish regenerating from fragments, fragmentation in flatworms and sponges, budding in hydra, parthenogenesis in some insects, and the formation of monozygotic twins in vertebrates.

Cette flashcard demande cinq exemples de clonage naturel chez les animaux, tels que la régénération des étoiles de mer à partir de fragments, la reproduction par fragmentation chez les vers plats et les éponges, la bourgeonnement chez les hydres, la parthénogenèse chez certains insectes, et la formation de jumeaux monozygotes chez les vertébrés.

Front Describe 5 examples of natural cloning in animals.
Back Examples of natural cloning in animals:
  • Starfish regenerate entire animals from fragments of original if damaged
  • Flatworms and sponges fragment to form new identical animals
  • Hydra produce small buds on their body which develop into genetically identical clones
  • In some insects, females produce offspring without mating
  • Monozygotic twins in vertebrates where embryo splits to form two separate embryos
