2. Asexual reproduction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexual_reproduction

   Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes or change in the number of chromosomes. The offspring that arise by asexual reproduction from either unicellular or multicellular organisms inherit the full set of genes of their single parent and thus the newly created individual is genetically and ...

3. Budding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budding

   Since the reproduction is asexual, the newly created organism is a clone and, excepting mutations, is genetically identical to the parent organism. Organisms such as hydra use regenerative cells for reproduction in the process of budding. In hydra, a bud develops as an outgrowth due to repeated cell division at one specific site.

4. Androgenesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androgenesis

   Androgenesis is a system of asexual reproduction that requires the presence of eggs and occurs when a zygote is produced with only paternal nuclear genes.During standard sexual reproduction, one female parent and one male parent each produce haploid gametes (such as a sperm or egg cell, each containing only a single set of chromosomes), which recombine to create offspring with genetic material ...

5. Parthenogenesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenogenesis

   Some authors consider all forms of automixis sexual as they involve recombination. Many others classify the endomitotic variants as asexual and consider the resulting embryos parthenogenetic. Among these authors, the threshold for classifying automixis as a sexual process depends on when the products of anaphase I or of anaphase II are joined.

7. Plant reproduction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_reproduction

   Asexual reproduction in plants occurs in two fundamental forms, vegetative reproduction and agamospermy. [1] Vegetative reproduction involves a vegetative piece of the original plant producing new individuals by budding, tillering , etc. and is distinguished from apomixis , which is a replacement of sexual reproduction, and in some cases ...

8. Autospore - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autospore

   Reproduction of Radiococcus and Tetracoccus by forming 4 autospores within a single cell Autospores are a type of spores that are produced by algae to enable asexual reproduction and spread. They are non-motile and non- flagellated aplanospores that are generated within a parent cell and have the same shape as the parent cell before their ...

9. Cloning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloning

   Asexual reproduction is a naturally occurring phenomenon in many species, including most plants and some insects. Scientists have made some major achievements with cloning, including the asexual reproduction of sheep and cows. There is a lot of ethical debate over whether or not cloning should be used.
