The production of offspring from one parent. Results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.

Mitosis Cells create new cells by dividing in two through a process called mitosis Used to grow and repair damaged tissues

Binary Fission Binary Fission: one organism divides itself into 2 which results in 2 genetically identical organisms

Budding Budding: a bud is produced by the parent, breaks off and grows into a new, genetically identical organism 5Duc

Spore Formation Spore Formation: Spores made by mitosis develop into a new organism after dispersal (Ex: fungus, algae)

Regeneration If an organism loses a body part, it can regrow that part

Sexual Reproduction -2 parents are involved in the production of offspring -Genetic material from each parent combines producing genetically different offspring
