1 - Step 1 2 - Step 2 3 - Step 3 4 - Step 4

1 - Genetic material duplicates. 2 - Cell grows in size and other organelles duplicate. 3 - Cell wall or membrane forms. 4 - Cells separate.

_____ occurs when offspring arise as a contiguous outgrowth of the parent.

Budding

Prokaryotic cells reproduce by _____.

binary fission

This type of asexual reproduction occurs when a single celled organism divides into two organisms.

binary fission

asexual reproduction in which a single cell divides into two with no exchange of genetic material; reproduction method of bacteria

binary fission

asexual reproduction involving the growth of a new individual from part of an older organism; uneven distribution of cytoplasm that results in one cell receiving most of the cell contents

budding

a group of organisms attached to one another after undergoing asexual reproduction from a common parent

colony

the part of the cell division that causes the separation of the cytoplasm

cytokinesis

When an organism of many cells breaks up into two or more parts and these parts survive to produce a new organism, reproduction occurs by _____.

fragmentation

a phenomenon in which organisms break into two or more parts and then each part grows into a new individual

fragmentation

the process involving the division of the nucleus of a body cell

mitosis

When a parent cell makes several nuclei and divides to make several daughter cells, it is called _____.

multiple fission

asexual reproduction in which a single cell undergoes many mitotic divisions in the nucleus and a number of daughter cells are produced all at once

multiple fission

In multiple fission, a cell is produced that has multiple ________.

nuclei

Binary fission is the most common form of reproduction in _____.

protozoa
