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
