The right answer is Asexual reproduction

Asexual reproduction concerns species that 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 parent cell.

This vegetative (asexual) propagation can be observed in animals, plants and bacteria.
