Dear Student,
Asexual reproduction involves the participation of a single parent. This mode of reproduction does not involve formation of gametes. It includes types of vegetative propagation and asexual spore formation.
Bacteria reproduce mainly by fission. Sometimes, under unfavourable conditions , they produce spores.
Cell on reaching a certain size, dictated by the nucleus to cytoplasmic ratio, reproduction takes place asexually by binary fission, that is by division into two identical daughter cells.
Yeast reproduce asexually through budding.
Budding involves the formation of a new individual from a protrusion called the bud. It is very common in plants, yeasts, and lower level animals such as Hydra.
In Hydra, the cells divide rapidly at a specific site and develop as an outgrowth called a bud. These buds, while attached to the parent plant, develop into small individuals. When this individual becomes large enough, it detaches itself from the parent body to exist as an independent individual.
