ABSTRACTION Time allotted: ___ minutes
1.Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that
does not require union of sex cells.
2. It involves one parent and produces offspring that
are genetically identical to each other and to the parent.
3. The different methods of asexual reproduction are
spore formation, budding, fission, fragmentation, spore
formation and vegetative propagation.
ABSTRACTION Time allotted: ___ minutes
Examples of Asexual Reproduction
Spore formation, when the parent plant produces
hundreds of tiny spores which can grow into new
plants. When the spore case opens, the tiny spores
are released and may be carried by the wind or
water. Once the spore lands on favorable
environment, it develops into a new organism.
ABSTRACTION Time allotted: ___ minutes
Budding is a type of asexual reproduction in which a
new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud
due to cell division at one particular site.
ABSTRACTION Time allotted: ___ minutes
Fission occurs when a parent cell splits into two
identical daughter cells of the same size.
ABSTRACTION Time allotted: ___ minutes
Fragmentation occurs when a parent organism
breaks into fragments, or pieces, and each
fragment develops into a new fully grown
organism.
ABSTRACTION Time allotted: ___ minutes
Vegetative propagation is a type of asexual
reproduction in plants where a new plant can form
from the root, stem or leaf of an already existing
plant.

4. The type of asexual reproduction involves the
growth of a new organism from a piece of the
parents is fragmentation and regeneration.
