Question

1. which of these are methods of asexual reproduction? select all that apply.

□ binary fission

□ fertilization

□ budding

□ germination

□ parthenogenesis

□ fragmentation

Explanation:

Asexual reproduction involves only one parent and produces genetically identical offspring, with no fusion of gametes.

• Binary fission: A single cell divides into two identical cells, asexual.
• Fertilization: Fusion of gametes from two parents, sexual.
• Budding: A new organism grows from a parent's outgrowth, asexual.
• Germination: Growth of a seed/spore, not reproduction itself.
• Parthenogenesis: Offspring develop from unfertilized eggs, asexual.
• Fragmentation: Parent breaks into pieces that grow into new organisms, asexual.

Answer:

Binary fission, Budding, Parthenogenesis, Fragmentation
