  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. Reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproduction

    There are two forms of reproduction: asexual and sexual. In asexual reproduction, an organism can reproduce without the involvement of another organism. Asexual reproduction is not limited to single-celled organisms. The cloning of an organism is a form of asexual reproduction. By asexual reproduction, an organism creates a genetically similar ...

  4. List of taxa that use parthenogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_taxa_that_use...

    Crustacean reproduction varies both across and within species. The water flea Daphnia pulex alternates between sexual and parthenogenetic reproduction. [17] Among the better-known large decapod crustaceans, some crayfish reproduce by parthenogenesis. "Marmorkrebs" are parthenogenetic crayfish that were discovered in the pet trade in the 1990s. [18]

  5. Parthenogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenogenesis

    Example crosses between pool frog (Pelophylax lessonae), marsh frog (P. ridibundus) and their hybrid – edible frog (P. kl. esculentus). On the left, primary hybridisation generating a hybrid, while the middle is the most widespread type of hybridogenesis. [60] [61] Hybridogenesis is a mode of reproduction of hybrids.

  6. Parthenogenesis in squamates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenogenesis_in_squamates

    Parthenogenesis is a mode of asexual reproduction in which offspring are produced by females without the genetic contribution of a male. Among all the sexual vertebrates, the only examples of true parthenogenesis, in which all-female populations reproduce without the involvement of males, are found in squamate reptiles (snakes and lizards). [1]

  7. Budding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budding

    For example, the small bulb-like projection coming out from the yeast cell is known as a bud. 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.

  9. Fragmentation (reproduction) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragmentation_(reproduction)

    Fragmentation in multicellular or colonial organisms is a form of asexual reproduction or cloning, where an organism is split into fragments upon maturation and the split part becomes the new individual. The organism may develop specific organs or zones to shed or be easily broken off.
