Reproduction in Fungi and Plants

• Budding is a form of asexual reproduction in which a small part of the parent organism grows out as a bud, which then detaches and becomes a new organism, as seen in yeast.
• Spore formation is a form of asexual reproduction in which the parent plant produces microscopic reproductive units called spores, which are released when the spore sac bursts. These spores can germinate and produce new plants under favorable conditions, as seen in ferns.
• Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in fungi and plants that does not involve the sex cell (gamete) and can occur through binary or multiple fission, budding, fragmentation, spore formation, and vegetative propagation.
• Fission is a form of asexual reproduction in which the parent organism splits into two new organisms, as seen in cyanobacteria.
• Fragmentation is a form of asexual reproduction in which the body of a simple multicellular organism breaks up into two or more fragments, each of which grows to form a new complete organism, as seen in Spirogyra.
• Spore formation is when the parent plant produces microscopic reproductive units called spores inside a spore sac, which burst and spread into the air. When these spores land on food or soil and conditions are favorable, they germinate and produce new plants, e.g., Fern.
• Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction found in fungi and plants where a new individual is produced from a single parent without involving the sex cell (gamete).
• Fission is when the parent organism splits to form two new organisms, e.g., Cyanobacteria.
• Budding is when a small part of the parent organism grows out as a bud and detaches to become a new organism, e.g., Yeast.
• Fragmentation is the breaking up of the body of a simple multicellular organism into two or more fragments, each of which grows to form a new complete organism, e.g., Spirogyra.
• Asexual reproduction can occur through binary or multiple fission, budding, fragmentation, spore formation, and vegetative propagation.
• Vegetative propagation

  In vegetative propagation, new plants are obtained from the parts of old plants such as stems, leaves or roots without the help of any reproductive organ. The green grass grows in the field after rain from the dry, old stem of the grass plant by the method of vegetative propagation.
