Comparing Reproduction: Bread Mold vs. Seahorse

Reproduction
Asexual Reproduction
Process of reproduction with no gender
involved where a single 
gggggg
organism duplicates itself.
Sexual Reproduction
Process of reproduction where two
sexes combine their genetic information
to produce offspring.
Seahorses
Reproduces sexually between a male
and female
Sexual
1.
Female inserts eggs in male’s pouch
2.
Male raises eggs
3.
Male gives birth
Bread Mold
Reproduces both asexually and
sexually
Asexual
1.
Spore germinates
2.
Reproductive parts form and
eventually break apart, producing
new spores
Sexual
1.
Nuclei from different “genders” fuse
2.
Zygotes form
3.
Zygotes develop into zygospores
4.
Zygospores mature and produce
sporangia, which release more
spores
The Two Organisms
Bread Mold
Zygospore originates from the Greek word, zygos, which means joining
(Olbrantz)
The scientific name of bread mold is 
Rhizopus stolonifer
Instead of having “sexes” or “genders,” they have mating types, which are
categorized as “+” and “-”
Seahorses
When males compete for a mate, they will tend
to fight
Female and male seahorses will engage in daily
dances (National Geographic)
During one dance, the female will insert her
eggs into the male’s pouch
The female visits every day
Males give birth at the end of a 21
day span
Bread Mold vs. Seahorse
Can reproduce
sexually
Reproduces both
asexually and sexually
 
Only reproduces sexually
Female inserts eggs into
male’s pouch
Can carry up to 2,000
seahorse babies at a time
Pregnancy can last 10-
25 days
Males give birth
Doesn’t have genders, instead
has “mating types”
Bread mold forms in
around one to six days
Reach sexual maturity at
6 months
Age of sexual
maturity is undefined

Understanding the processes of asexual and sexual reproduction, this content delves into the unique methods of bread mold and seahorses. While bread mold reproduces both asexually and sexually, seahorses only reproduce sexually. Dive into the details of spores, zygotes, mating types, pouch birthing, and more, exploring the fascinating world of these diverse reproductive strategies.
