3. Other types of vegetative reproduction

The other types of vegetative reproductions are fragmentation, fission (binary fission), budding and regeneration.

 

As each of these fragments contains atleast one cell, they grow up into a new filament of the algae by cell division.  Fragmentation occurs when the parent is matured enough. It is seen in Spirogyra.

 

  

In this mode of reproduction, the parent cell divides into two daughter cells, and each cell develops into a new adult organism.

It is seen in organisms like amoeba and bacteria.

In this process, a daughter individual is formed from a small bulb-like projection on the parent body called a bud. The bud detaches from the parent body and forms a new daughter cell.

It is seen in organisms such as Yeast and Hydra.

 

  

A specialised mass of cells carries it out.

It is observed in organisms such as Hydraand Planaria.
