Asexual reproduction |
Asexual reproduction is a form of reproduction that does not require the fusion of gametes. It requires only one parent. The offspring, which originates from asexual reproduction, is identical to the parent plant. The reproduction is differentiated into four types except for binary fission, such as spores, vegetative propagation, budding, and fragmentation. Budding is a process in which a species reproduces by the production of small outgrowths from its cell. This outgrowth is referred to as a bud. New cells are formed from these buds. |
