 Unicellular
A unicellular organism, also known as a single-celled organism, is an
organism that consists of only one cell, unlike a multicellular organism that
consists of more than one cell.

Budding In Yeast
Yeast typically grow asexually by budding. A small bud which will become the
daughter cell is formed on the parent (mother) cell, and enlarges with
continued grow. As the daughter cell grows, the mother cell duplicates and
then segregates its DNA. The nucleus divides and migrates into the daughter
cell.

How it works
The bud continues to grow until it separates from the parent cell, forming a
new cell. ... The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae reproduces by
mitosis as diploid cells when nutrients are abundant, but when starved,
this yeast undergoes meiosis to form haploid spores.

 Flowering Plant
Vegetative Propagation
Vegetative propagation is a form of asexual reproduction of a plant. Only
one plant is involved and the offspring is the result of one parent. The new
plant is genetically identical to the parent.

Artificial Method

Cuttings
A plant cutting is a piece of a plant that is used in horticulture for vegetative
propagation. A piece of the stem or root of the source plant is placed in a
suitable medium such as moist soil. 

How it works
A piece of the stem or root of the source plant is placed in a suitable
medium such as moist soil. A stem cutting produces new roots, and a
root cutting produces new stems. Some plants can be grown from leaf
pieces, called leaf cuttings, which produce both stems and roots.

Grafting
Grafting or graftage is a horticultural technique whereby tissues of plants
are joined so as to continue their growth together. The upper part of the
combined plant is called the scion while the lower part is called the
rootstock.

How it works
Grafting and budding are horticultural techniques used to join parts from
two or more plants so that they appear to grow as a single plant.

 Animals
Cloning
In reproductive cloning, researchers remove a mature somatic cell, such
as a skin cell, from an animal that they wish to copy. They then transfer the
DNA of the donor animal's somatic cell into an egg cell, or oocyte, that has
had its own DNA-containing nucleus removed.

 Natural Propagation
Natural vegetative propagation. Natural vegetative propagation occurs
when an axillary bud grows into a lateral shoot and develops its own roots
(also known as adventitious roots). Plant structures
allowing natural vegetative propagation include bulbs, rhizomes, stolon’s
and tubers.

Corm
A rounded underground storage organ present in plants such as crocuses,
gladioli, and cyclamens, consisting of a swollen stem base covered with
scale leaves.

How it works

Corm, vertical, fleshy, underground stem that acts as a food-storage

structure in certain seed plants. It bears membranous or scaly leaves and
buds, and, unlike in bulbs, these do not appear as visible rings when
the corm is cut in half.

Rhizome

In botany and dendrology, a rhizome is a modified subterranean plant stem

that sends out roots and shoots from its nodes. Rhizomes are also called
creeping rootstalks or just rootstalks. Rhizomes develop from axillary buds
and grow horizontally. The rhizome also retains the ability to allow new
shoots to grow upwards
.
How it works

Rhizomes are modified stems running underground horizontally. They

strike new roots out of their nodes, down into the soil. They also shoot new
stems up to the surface out of their nodes. This rhizome activity represents
a form of plant reproduction

Stolon

In biology, stolon’s, also known as runners, are horizontal connections

between organisms. They may be part of the organism, or of its skeleton;
typically, animal stolon’s are external skeletons.

How it works

In botany, stolon’s are stems which grow at the soil surface or just below

ground that form adventitious roots at the nodes, and new plants from the
buds. Stolon’s are often called runners. ... Thus, not all horizontal
stems are called stolon’s. Plants with stolon’s are called stoloniferous.
