Detailed explanation-1: -Marine animals, and particularly bony fish, commonly reproduce by broadcast spawning. This is an external method of reproduction where the female releases many unfertilised eggs into the water. At the same time, a male or many males release a lot of sperm into the water which fertilises some of these eggs.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are two main forms: sexual and asexual reproduction. In sexual reproduction, an organism combines the genetic information from each of its parents and is genetically unique. In asexual reproduction, one parent copies itself to form a genetically identical offspring.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual Reproduction Examples Blackworms or mud worms reproduce through fragmentation. Hydras reproduce through budding. Organisms such as copperheads undergo parthenogenesis. Sugarcane can be grown through vegetative propagation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in which a single parent produces a new progeny. The new persons created are genetically and physically identical to their parents, i.e., they are clones. Both multicellular and unicellular species exhibit asexual reproduction.
