Describe the different methods of asexual reproduction.give example?
Answers
Answer:
There are several different methods of asexual reproduction. They include binary fission, fragmentation, and budding. Binary fission occurs when a parent cell splits into two identical daughter cells of the same size. ... Budding occurs when a parent cell forms a bubble-like bud.
Explanation:
Different methods of asexual reproduction:
Vegetative propagation: In this asexual reproduction, new plants are produced from roots, stems, leaves and buds of the individual plant. Examples: Tuber of potato, the rhizome of ginger.
Budding: The bud is a small projection which gradually grows and gets detached from the parent cell and forms a new yeast cell. The new yeast cell grows, matures and produces more yeast cells. Example: Yeast.
Fragmentation: In this mode of reproduction, the growth and multiplication are done by rapidly breaking down into two or more fragments. Each fragment grows into new individuals when water and nutrients are available. Example: Algae
Spore Formation: This reproduction is done by spores which under favourable conditions germinates and develops into a new individual. Examples: Fungi like Rhizopus, Mucor, etc.
Fission: It is a type of asexual reproduction where the unicellular organism splits to form new organisms. There are two types of fission binary fission, multiple fission. Examples of unicellular organisms that undergo binary fission are amoeba, paramecium, Leishmania etc. Plasmodium undergoes the process of multiple fission.
