AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Budding. Budding is a form of asexual reproduction that results from the outgrowth of a part of a cell or body region leading to a separation from the original organism into two individuals.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fragmentation. Fragmentation is another mode of asexual reproduction exhibited by organisms such as spirogyra, planaria etc. The parent body divides into several fragments and each fragment develops into a new organism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which offsprings arise from a single organism and inherit the genes of that parent only; it does not involve the fusion of gametes. The offspring produced from asexual reproduction is exact copy of the parent.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fragmentation: A type of asexual reproduction where an organism upon maturation breaks down into fragments (or pieces) and each fragment grows into a new organism. Example: Fragmentation is seen in Spyrogyra( a type of green algae).

Detailed explanation-5: -Fungi, lichens, molds, worms, sea stars, acoel flatworms, and sponges are some of the common examples where the mode of reproduction occurs via fragmentation.
