Mo3-L4b: What are the Types of Asexual Reproduction?

budding cloning
the process during which a new organism grows by a type of asexual reproduction performed in a
mitosis and cell division on the body of its parent. laboratory that produces identical individuals from a
cell or from a cluster of cells taken from a
multicellular organism.

regeneration
a type of asexual reproduction that occurs when an
offspring grows from a piece of its parent. Types of asexual reproduction

Cell division in prokaryotes is known as fission.

Starfish

A prokaryote’s DNA molecule is copied
and each copy attaches to the cell membrane.

The cell grows longer, pulling the two copies of DNA
