Asexual Reproduction
 Requires only one parent
 Offspring have the exact DNA of the parent
 In other words, the offspring are exact “clones” of the
parent.
 Most unicellular organisms
reproduce this way
and some plants
 Mitosis

Asexual Reproduction
 Binary Fission
 Bacteria
 Protists
Binary fission is a form of asexual
reproduction where every organelle
is copied and the organism divides
in two.

Asexual Reproduction
 Plant cuttings
Vegetative reproduction is a type of asexual
reproduction in plants that relies on multicellular structures formed by the parent
plant.

Asexual Reproduction
 Budding
 Hydra
Budding is a means of
asexual reproduction
where a new organism
grows from the parent
organism.

Asexual Reproduction
 Fragmentation
Fragmentation is a means of asexual
reproduction whereby a single parent
breaks into parts that grow into new
offspring.

Asexual Reproduction
 Regeneration
Regeneration occurs
when a body part has
broken off and the
organism grows a
new one.
