Asexual Reproduction

Binary Fission Budding

Binary fission is when an organism splits
into two identical individual organisms
without sex taking place. It is a type of
asexual reproduction which often occurs in
prokaryote micro-organisms.
Budding is an asexual reproduction
method in which a new organism develops
from a bud of an existing organism. Until the
new organism matures, it remains attached
to the parent organism.

Example of animals that reproduce
by binary fission is AMOEBA.
- Amoeba belongs to the
kingdom Protista.
Example of animals that reproduce
by binary fission is Archaebacteria
and Cyanobacteria.
- Archaebacteria and
Cyanobacteria belong to the
kingdom Monera.
Sea Anemone
To clone itself, an anemone splits in
half — literally tearing itself apart
(asexual reproduction). Asexual
reproduction spreads new animals
rapidly over rocks. An aggregating
anemone also reproduces sexually
by broadcasting eggs and sperm.
Jellyfish
Throughout their lifecycle, jellyfish
take on two different body forms:
medusa and polyps. Polyps can
reproduce asexually by budding,
while medusae spawn eggs and
sperm to reproduce sexually.
