Asexual Reproduction and Its Types
  • In asexual reproduction, a single individual (parent) is capable of producing offspring. 
  • As a result, the offspring that are produced are not only identical to one another but are also exact copies of their parents.
  • The term clone is used to describe such morphologically and genetically similar individuals.
  • Asexual reproduction is common among single-celled organisms, and in plants and animals with relatively simple organisations. 
  • In Protists and Monerans, the organism or the parent cell divides by mitosis into two to give rise to new individuals.
  • Thus, in these organisms cell division is itself a mode of reproduction.

Characteristics of Asexual Reproduction:

  • A single parent is involved.
  • Gametes are not formed.
  • Fertilization does not occur.
  • Cell division occurs through mitosis.
  • Offsprings are genetically identical to the parent.
  • Multiplication occurs rapidly.

Types of Asexual Reproduction:

  • Binary fission
  • Multiple fission
  • Budding
  • Fragmentation
  • Regeneration
  • Gemmulation
