Explanation:
Asexual Reproduction -
- The reproduction in which an offspring is produced by a single parent without the fusion of gametes is called asexual reproduction.
- The offsprings are exact replica of their parents and genetically identical.
- Asexual reproduction is of many types: Sporulation, Fission, Fragmentation. Budding, Plasmotomy, vegetative propagation, Apomixis & Parthenogenesis.
- Amoeba reproduces asexually by binary fission.
- It is asexual reproduction by a separation of the body into two new bodies.

- Hydra reproduces asexually by budding.
- In Hydra, a bud develops as an outgrowth due to repeated cell division at one specific site.
- These buds develop into tiny individuals and when fully mature, detach from the parent body and become new independent individuals.

- Spirogyra reproduces asexually by fragmentation.
- It is a mode of asexual reproduction in which the body of the organism split apart into different parts & each part can give rise to a new organism.
