what are the different types of asexual reproduction
Answers
Asexual Reproduction- The production of new organism from a single parent without the involvement of sex cells is called asexual reproduction.
There are six different types of asexual reproduction-
1. Fission
2. Budding
3. Spore formation
4. Regeneration
5. Fragmentation
6. Vegetative propagation.
1. Fission- The type of asexual reproduction in which a unicellular organism divides to form two or more new organisms.
There are two types of fission :-
1. Binary fission - In binary fission, the parent organism splits to form two new organisms.
2. Multiple fission - In multiple fission, the parent organism splits to form many new organisms at the same time.
2. Budding- The type of asexual reproduction in which, a small part of the body of the parent organism grows out as a 'bud' which then detaches and become a new organism is called budding.
3. Spore Formation- the parent plant produced hundreds of microscopic reproductive units called 'spores' is called spore formation.
4. Regeneration- The process of getting back a full organism from its body parts is called regeneration.
5. Fragmentation- The breaking up of the body of a simple multicellular organism into two (or more) , each of which subsequently grows to form a complete new organism is called fragmentation.
6. Vegetative Propagation- In vegetative propagation, new plants are obtained from the parts of old plants (like stems, roots and leaves) without the help of any reproductive organs.
