Question

What is asexual reproduction and it's examples

Answer 1

Dear student,
Asexual reproduction is the production of new organism from a single parent without the involvement of sex cells or gametes. Simple plants, microorganism and lower animals reproduce by this method. It is the production of new offspring without production of seeds or spores.
There are 6 types of asexual reproduction:-

1. Binary Fission:- the process in which one unicellular organism copies and gives 2 offsprings of the same species.Ex: Amoeba, Paramecium.
2. Multiple Fission:- the process in which one unicellular organism copies to give more than 2 offsprings.Ex: Plasmodium.
3. Spore Formation:- the process in which organisms reproduce by spore transportation.
4. Regeneration:- the process in which offsprings take birth by generating from the parent.
5. Budding:- the process in which bud produces from the parent.Ex: Hydra.
6. Vegetative Propagation:- process of reproducing through plant parts.
7. Fragmentation:- the process in which organism is produced through the fragments of the parent.
