Explanation:
Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes or change in the number of chromosomes. The offspring that arise by asexual reproduction from either unicellular or multicellular organisms inherit the full set of genes of their single parent.
Answer:
Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes or change in the number of chromosomes.
The different types of asexual reproduction are binary fission, budding, vegetative propagation, spore formation (sporogenesis), fragmentation, parthenogenesis, and apomixis.
Binary fission: Binary fission, asexual reproduction by a separation of the body into two new bodies.
Budding: A form of asexual reproduction in which a new individual develops from some generative anatomical point of the parent organism.
Vegetative Propagation:Vegetative propagation is a process by which plants reproduce from stems, roots and leaves
Spore Formation:The parent plant produces hundreds of reproductive units called spores. When the spore case of plant burst then the spores spread into air. Under favourable conditions they germinate and produce new plant
Fragmentation: The process of fragmenting—breaking into pieces or being divided into parts
Parthenogenesis:Parthenogenesis is a form of reproduction in which an egg can develop into an embryo without being fertilized by a sperm.
Apomixes:apomixis is asexual reproduction without fertilization
