Front

What are budding, vegetative propagation, regeneration, and binary fission types of?

Back

Asexual reproduction.

Front

Define asexual reproduction.

Back

Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction that involves only one parent and results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.

Front

Define sexual reproduction.

Back

Sexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction that involves two parents and results in offspring that are genetically diverse.

Front

What is binary fission?

Back

Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction where a single organism divides into two identical organisms.

Front

What is budding in asexual reproduction?

Back

Budding is a form of asexual reproduction where a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud on the parent organism.

Front

What is regeneration in the context of asexual reproduction?

Back

Regeneration is the process by which certain organisms can regrow lost body parts or create new individuals from fragments.
