Describe the different methods of asexual …

Solution:

Different methods of asexual production are:

Vegetative propagation: It is a type of asexual reproduction in which new plants are produced from

roots, stems, leaves and buds. Since reproduction is through the vegetative parts of the plant.

Budding: In this process, a new individual from a bulb-like projection, bud, grows and gets detached from the parent to form a new individual and it is mostly observed in yeast.

Spore formation: Spores are asexual reproductive bodies. A spore is covered by a hard protective coat to withstand unfavourable conditions such as high temperature & ow humidity. So they can survive for a long time. Under favourable conditions, a spore germinates and develops into a new

individual. Fungi on bread and plants such as moss and ferns reproduce through spores.

Fragmentation: In this process, a new organism is developed from the fragments of the parent body. Example, An alga breaks up into two or more fragments. These fragments or pieces grow into new individuals
