Answers
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 a single cell or from a multicellular organism inherit the genes of that parent.
There are different types of asexual reproduction: Binary Fission. Budding. Fragmentation.
Answer:
Asexual reproduction is the mode of reproduction that is involved in the production of offsprings by a single parent. Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which a new offspring is produced by a single parent. The new individuals produced are genetically and physically identical to each other
Binary fission
The term “fission” indicates “to divide”. Through binary fission, the parent cell divides into two cells. The cell division patterns vary in various organisms, i.e., some are directional while others are non-directional.
Example: Amoeba and euglena exhibit binary fission.
It is one of the simplest and uncomplicated methods of asexual reproduction. The parent cell divides into two, each daughter cell containing a nucleus of its own that is genetically identical to the parent. The cytoplasm also divides leading to two equal-sized daughter cells. The process repeats itself and the daughter cells grow and further divide.

Budding
Budding is the process of producing an individual through the buds that develop on the parent body. Hydra is an organism that reproduces by budding. The bud derives nutrition and shelter from the parent organism and detaches once it is fully grown.
Example: Hydra and Yeast
