Question

Describe five modes of asexual reproduction in animals.

Answer 1

Hint: Through fission, budding, fragmentation, or parthenogenesis animals may reproduce asexually.

Complete Answer:
The different modes like as fission, fragmentation, budding, vegetative reproduction, spore formation and agamogenesis has been included by the asexual reproduction. There are the five modes of asexual reproduction in animals which are as follows-

A) Binary fission: A type of asexual reproduction known as binary fission in which the fully grown parent cell splits into two halves, producing two new daughter cells. Among organisms such as Bacteria, Amoeba and Paramecium it is common.
B) Budding: Most yeasts reproduce asexually by an asymmetric division process called budding. First, on the parent cell it produces a small protuberance that grows to full size and forms a bud.
C) Fragmentation: A form of asexual reproduction in multicellular organisms in which an organism is split into fragments is known as fragmentation. To their parents each of these fragments are identical and develop into matured, fully grown individuals.
D) Spore formation: A method of asexual reproduction known as spore formation in which is found in non-flowering plants such as fungi (Rhizopus) and bacteria. The parent plant produces hundreds of tiny spores which can grow into new plants in this method of reproduction.
E) Vegetative propagation: Vegetative propagation is a form of asexual reproduction of a plant. In this reproduction the offspring is the result of one parent and only one plant is involved. The new plant to the parent plant is genetically identical.

Note: Organisms choose to reproduce asexually by different means. The examples of the asexual methods are binary fission (e.g. Amoeba, bacteria), budding (e.g. Hydra), fragmentation (e.g. Planaria), spore formation (e.g. ferns) and vegetative propagation (e.g. Onion).
