Asexual Reproduction
Main ideas
-
Asexual reproduction is related to mitosis. It's where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. "Cells division"

Gemmules: Sponges
Sponges reproduce together, meaning they form an offspring in the same place, they are in a state of "deep sleep", the gemmules grow inside the sponge and detaches off the parent when it's grown, these are made in harsh environment conditions.
The Gemmules are capable of surviving difficult conditions. Gemmules are less likely to become dehydrated, and some may last with very low oxygen levels.
Binary Fission is one of the most common forms of reproduction.
In the example of the paramecia, the parent duplicates its body and organelles in a process called mitosis, the parent disappears and forms 2 new tiny ones, called daughter cells, they are identical to the main one, and the main one doesn't exist anymore.
Hydra reproduce asexually in a form call budding. Basically a new hydra starts growing in the body of a hydra and when it matures enough it detaches from the parent body.
Echinoderms reproduce in an asexual way call regeneration. Meaning that when a part of the body detaches by accident, for example the arm, this one can grow into a new individual and since this organism is left without an arm what regeneration does is that it makes it grow back.
Fragmentation: If one organism lost one of their body parts that part can regenerate itself into whole new body. The breaking apart of the body parts it's intentional.
Parthenogenesis: This process involves the development of an egg that is not fertilized. It is basically a copy of the mom. Some organisms that reproduces through this method can also reproduce by sexual reproduction.
Animals and protists are not the only organisms that reproduce asexually. Also, the Yeast, fungi, plants, and bacteria are capable.
