Answer:
Budding : a grouth on the body as a bud grows to from identical copy of patent EX:yeast. Spore formation: spores are produced in sporangium EX: rhizopus,mucor, bacteria, ferms and mosses. Regeneration: ability of organisms to give rise to new individual organisms EX:hydra,flatworm,tapeworm.
Asexual reproduction takes place by six different methods.
They are :
- Fission
- Budding
- Spore formation
- Regeneration
- Fragmentation
- Vegetative propagation
1) Fission :
Single celled organisms split into two equal offsprings or more offsprings.
Ex :
- Paramoecium
- bacteria.
2) Budding :
A growth on the body as a bud grows to form identical copy of parent.
Ex :
- Yeast
- Amoeba
3) Spore formation :
Spores are produced in sporangium.
Ex :
- Rhizopus
- mucor
- bacteria
- ferms
- mosses
4) Regeneration :
Ability of organisms to give rise to new individual organisms.
Ex :
- Hydra
- flatworm
- tapeworm
5) Fragmentation :
New individual growth from a separate piece of parent organism.
Ex :
- Flatworms
- moulds
- lichens
- spirogyra
6) Vegetative propagation :
a) Natural propagation :
i) Leaves :-
Eg : Bryophyllum
ii) Stems :-
Eg :
- Stolon - Vallisneria, Strawberry
- Bulbs - Onion
- Corms - Colacasia
- Tuber - Potato
b) Artificial propagation :
i) Layering :-
Eg :
- Nerium
- Guava
- Orange
- Rose
ii) Cutting :-
Eg :
- Rose
- Hibiscus
- Sugarcane
iii) Grafting :-
Eg :
- Sapota
- Guava
- Mango
