Useful Notes on the Different Types of Asexual Reproduction

Different types of asexual reproduction are:

(i) Fission:

An individual divides and gives rise offspring e.g., amoeba.

(ii) Budding:

An individual gives rise to a bulb-like projection called bud. This bud on separation from the body of the parent becomes a new individual e.g., hydra.

(iii) Fragmentation:

An individual breaks into pieces and each piece grows into new individuals e.g., spirogyra.

(iv) Spore formation:

An organism produces spores in favorable conditions give rise to new individuals e.g., Macro

(v) Vegetative propagation:

A part of the plant body gives rise to new individual plant e.g., rose stem cutting gives rise to a new rose plant.
