ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION Involves only one parent Offspring are genetically identical to the parent

Binary fission A single cell undergoes mitosis, which forms two identical daughter cells Cytoplasmic division is equal Bacteria Ameba paramecium

Binary Fission

Budding Mitosis is followed by unequal division of cytoplasm. Genetic material is identical. Yeast, coral and hydra

Sporulation Reproductive cells, known as spores, are released by the parent. Molds and mushrooms (Fungi)

Regeneration 1.Production of new organisms from parts of a parent organism 2.Regrowth of a body part Worms, starfish

planaria

Vegetative Propagation *Asexual reproduction in plants *Production of new plant organism from leaves, stems or roots of a parent plant * Genetically indentical to the parent

Tubers

Runners

Bulbs
