  • Organisms
    • Mosquitoes - a vector that spreads the parasite that causes Malaria.
      • parasite is transferred when a mosquito bites the human host.
        • parasite reproduces SEXUALLY in mosquito but reproduces ASEXUALLY in the human host.
    • Fungi - produces spores
      • spores become fungi when they land in a suitable environment
        • ASEXUALLY produced spores are genetically identical to parents
          • SEXUALLY produced spores introduce Variation
            • Variation in offspring are usually caused by unfavorable changes in the environment
              • Variation increases the chance of survival of the population
    • Daffodils - asexually reproduce through bulbs
      • new bulbs form from the main bulb
        • They divide off so each new bulb can grow into an identical plant
    • Strawberry runners - stems that grow on surface of the soil.
      • At diff. point on the runner a new strawberry plant forms that is identical to the original plant
