1. Methods of Reproduction

2. Asexual Reproduction
Asexual reproduction is reproduction in which a single parent has offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.
Examples of asexual reproduction: binary fission, budding, fragmentation, regeneration, spore formation, vegetative reproduction and parthenogenesis

3. Binary Fission
Binary Fission: the parent organism splits into two organisms
Examples: Bacteria, Amoeba, Euglena

4. Budding
Budding: when a part of the part organism pinches off and forms a new organism
The new organism separates from the parent and lives independently.
Examples: Hydra, Sponges

5. Fragmentation
Fragmentation: A part of an organism splits off from the organism and it develops into a new organism
Examples: Flatworms, Sea Anemones

6. Regeneration
Regeneration: If a piece of a parent is detached, it can grow and develop into a completely new individual.
Examples: Echinoderms

7. Spore Formation
Spore Formation: Parent releases small cells called spores. Spores grow into offspring that are identical to the parent.
Examples: Bacteria, Fungi

8. Vegetative Reproduction
Vegetative reproduction: regeneration of new plants from the vegetative parts of the parent plant
Examples: Sweet potatoes, Potatoes, Strawberries

9. Parthenogenesis
Parthenogenesis: a form of asexual reproduction where growth and development of embryos occurs without fertilization
Examples: Fish, Bees

10. Sexual Reproduction
Sexual reproduction: reproduction in which sex cells from two parents unite to produce offspring that share traits from both parents
Examples: Pollination, Internal Fertilization, External Fertilization

11. Pollination
Pollination: The act of transferring pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma which enables fertilization and reproduction
Examples: Flowering Plants

12. Internal Fertilization
Internal Fertilization: Fertilization that takes place inside the female reproductive system
Examples: Mammals, Reptiles, Birds

13. External Fertilization
External Fertilization: Fertilization that takes place in the external environment
Examples: Fish, Amphibians
