Asexual reproduction.

Asexual reproduction

Asexual reproduction involves only one organism. Descendents develop directly from the body of the progenitor. They are identical to the progenitor. 

         In unicellular organisms, the only cell divides into two new cells.

      In some simple invertebrates, the descendent forms slowly on the body of the progenitor, like a bud.

       Many plants can grow new plants from a root or a fragment of the stem. Other plants, like moss or ferns, produce cells called spores. Each spore grows and produces a descendent.
