  • Budding - an organism is reproduced by forming an outgrowth, or a "bud", form a part of the parent organism's body.
  • An example organism of Budding is Cnidarians (hydra), tunicates
  • An example of Fragmentation is some species of sea stars (starfish), flatworms.
  • Binary fission - a parent organism splits into two "daughter" organisms. Is usually done by prokaryotic organisms and some invertebrates.
  • Fragmentation - an organisms is produced from the detached body of its parent.
  • AN example of Fragmentation is some species of sea stars (starfish), flatworms
  • Vegetative reproduction - any form of asexual reproduction occuring in plants in which new plant grows from a fragment of the parent plant and grows from specialized reproductive structure.
  • Spore formation - involves the reproduction of spores, which are specialized asexual reproduction cells.
  • An example of Spore formations are Ferns.
  • An example of vegetative reproduction are, stolon, rhizome, tuber, corm, or buln
