Solution

Dear Student
Budding: It is a type of asexual reproduction. In this method a small bulb like projection comes out and gradually grows then gets detached from the parent cell to make a new individual.

Fragmentation

It is a form of asexual reproduction in which an entirely new organism is formed from a fragment of the parent. It occurs in multicellular organisms, whose body organization is fairly simple such as annelids, starfish, fungi, lichens, and some algae such as spirogyra. The filaments of spirogyra, upon maturation, break into small pieces or fragments, which grow into new individuals.

Vegetative propagation

It is the ability of plants to reproduce by producing new plants from vegetative parts such as roots, stem, and leaves.

Spore formation:

Spore formation is the mode of asexual reproduction in some organisms like fungi in which it gives rise to a globular structure known as sporangia, which contains spores. The sporangia burst to release spores and each of these spores germinates to produce a new individual.
