<\/span><\/h3>\nIt is a process in which only one parent organism produces a genetically identical offspring is known as asexual reproduction.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nThe organism created through asexual reproduction is less diverse, making it more susceptible to nutrition deficiency and various diseases. <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nAsexual reproduction animals majorly include unicellular (prokaryotic) microorganisms like bacteria, archaea, etc.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n However, this process occurs in many eukaryotic single-celled & multi-celled organisms. Asexual reproduction in animals has been further classified into several types.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n- \n
<\/span>Binary Fission<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIn this type of animal reproduction system, a cell splits into two cells (each cell carries an identical copy of DNA from its parent cell).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Binary fission occurs in prokaryotic microorganisms and some invertebrate, multi-celled organisms. For example- amoeba<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n- \n
<\/span>Budding<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThe process through which a small bud-like outgrowth (bud) produces a new individual is known as budding. The bud remains to attach to the parent organism until it grows entirely into an adult.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Once it has grown up, it detached from the parent body to live an individual life. Budding reproduction usually occurs in some invertebrates like hydra and coral as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nIn hydra, the bud detached from the parent organism once it is fully grown, but in coral, the outgrowth does not separate. Instead, it multiplies to form new colonies.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
