The right answer is asexual reproduction

A species is said to have an asexual reproduction when it can reproduce without the intervention of a congener of the opposite sex. All the formed individuals correspond to clones: their genetic inheritance is identical to that of the mother.

Vegetative propagation can be observed in animals, plants and bacteria.
