Question

List 5 types of as3xual reproduction and give an example of an organism that uses each type.

Answer 1

• The different types of as3xual reproduction are binary fission, budding, vegetative propagation, spore formation (sporogenesis), The following are examples of as3xual reproduction in unicellular organisms:
• Binary Fission - In binary fission, the parent cell divides into two equal halves called daughter cells, either transversely or longitudinally. Amoeba, for example, divides transversely, but Leishmania divides longitudinally.
• Several Fission - A parent cell divides into multiple daughter cells at the same time in multiple fission. Sporozoans, for example.
• Budding occurs when organisms create a bud on the surface of their body, which eventually develops into a distinct person. For instance, Budding Yeast.
