REPRODUCTION
Reproduction is the ability of living organisms to produce offspring’s i.e. new individuals of their type. It is the only way in which each kind of organism can continue to live on forever although the individual must eventually die. The two forms of reproduction are sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
In asexual reproduction, an individual produces an offspring by itself i.e. only one parent is present. There is no fusion of nuclei and the cells that give rise to the offspring usually divide by means of mitosis. As a result, asexual reproduction often produces clones-Offspring which are identical to the parent. In rare cases the offspring may not be identical due to mutation.
Asexual reproduction is common among simple organisms and flowering plants. Forms of asexual reproduction include the following:
