Multiple Choice

During asexual reproduction in a certain organism, a new organism begins to form on the adult's body. Eventually, when the new organism is large enough, it breaks off from the adult and lives separately. This type of reproduction is known as

• parthenogenesis.

• binary fission.

• budding.

• regeneration/fragmentation.

Multiple Choice

• type of genetic material

• number of parents involved

• use of meiosis

• amount of energy required
