Answer and Explanation:

In asexual reproduction, one or more freely existing organisms arises from a single parent. There are different types of asexual reproduction.

  1. Fission- this is a process by which a single-celled organism divides into two or more roughly equal parts. Binary fission is the division of an organism into two daughter cells.
  2. Spores formation- spores are unicellular bodies formed by cell division in parent organisms. When detached from parent, they germinate and grow into new individuals.
  3. Budding- it is a modified form of fission in yeasts. A small area of the cell wall of the parent cell softens and forms a protrusion. This enlarges until it is almost equal to the mother cell. The nucleus divide by mitosis. a constriction develops between the two which then separate.
  4. Vegetative production- it refers to the process whereby, a portion detached from a parent plant develops into a new self-sustaining plant.
