Detailed explanation-1: -Unicellular eukaryotes reproduce sexually or asexually. Asexual reproduction in single-celled eukaryotes involves mitosis, i.e., duplication of chromosomes and cytoplasm to produce “twin cells” in the process of cell division (Figure 2.16).
Detailed explanation-2: -Eukaryotic organisms, such as the single-cell yeast and multicellular Hydra, undergo budding. Starfish reproduce by fragmentation, and yeasts reproduce by budding. Both are types of asexual reproduction.
Detailed explanation-3: -Eukaryote microbes can either reproduce sexually or asexually.
Detailed explanation-4: -Prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) reproduce asexually through binary fission. Most prokaryotes reproduce rapidly.
Detailed explanation-5: -Prokaryotes (Archaea and Bacteria) reproduce asexually through binary fission, in which the parent organism divides in two to produce two genetically identical daughter organisms.
