In asexual reproduction the offspring
arises from a single individual parent.It
takes place in unicellular organisms
,some plants and certain multicellular
animals like sponges and hydro.

Fissi on
It occurs in unicellular
organisms such as amoeba ,
paramecium and other
protozoa. In this process, the
parent organisms divides into
two daughter cells and each
one then grows into an adult
organisms. Hence, two new
organisms are formed from
the single individual unicellular
organism. Hence, it is called
Binary Fission.
Bu dding
As a result repeated
mitotic division a bulging
on body appears , this
lateral bulge is called bud
. It increases in size and
develops into a new hydra
and gets separate from
parent hydra . Budding
takes place in yeast also.
SPO RE F ORM ATI ON
In most of fungi or spore
bacteria a sporangium
develops from the
fungal hypha and
nucleus divides several
times, each nucleus
with a bit of cytoplasm
develops into a spore.
REG ENER ATI ON
It is the ability of an
organisms to
replace its lost body
parts. e.g. planaria,
hydra and sponges
etc.

In this process a new plant develops from
vegetative parts of plant such as root,
stem or leaf.
There are three methods of artificial
vegetative propagation:-
Cutting
Layering
Grafting
