• produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent because the offspring are all clones of the parent. Asexual Reproduction
• an organism appears to split itself into two parts. binary fission
• is a result from the outgrowth of a part of the body leading to a separation of the bud. budding
• regenerate into whole new individuals. fragmentation
• airborne cells that released from the parent. spore
• occurs when a body part has broken off the organisms grows new one. regeneration
• egg develops into an individual without being fertilized. parthenogenesis

• one individual has both male and female reproductive systems. Hermaphroditism
• the fusion of a sperm and an egg. fertilization
• occurs in aquatic environment where both eggs and sperm are released into water. external fertilization
• may occur by the male directly depositing sperm in the female during mating. internal fertilization
• the development and formation of embryos. embryonic development
• fertilized eggs are laid outside the female's body and develop there. oviparity
• they obtain their nourishment from the female and are born in varrying states of maturity. viviparity
• fertilized eggs are retained in the female, and the embryo obtains its nourishment from the egg's yolk. ovoviparity
