Question

All of the following are basic types of asexual reproduction in lower organisms except:

regeneration
binary fission
budding
egg-laying
multiple fission
reproduction by spores

Answer 1

Egg-laying is not a type of asexual reproduction, you actually have to have a male and a female present to create the offspring inside the egg.

Answer 2

The right answer is egg-laying

Take the example of corals:

Most corals reproduce sexually. About 75% of the corals are hermaphrodite, the others form colonies or solitary individuals whose sex is separated.

Corals lay eggs to reproduce. Some corals practice synchronous spawning, more commonly referred to as "upside down snow" or "mass spawning".
