Reproduction in Animals
Elimination Tool:
When only one parent participates in asexual reproduction, the children born are genetically identical to the parent. Gametes, or sex cells, do not fuse during this process, and it does not add to genetic diversity. Different organisms, such as bacteria, fungi, plants, and certain animals, can reproduce asexually in different ways. Asexual reproduction techniques include parthenogenesis, apomixis, vegetative propagation, sporulation, budding, fission, and artificial propagation.
