best_answer

The types of asexual reproduction are : 

  1. Binary Fission - It occurs when a parent cell splits into two identical daughter cells of the same size. For example some bacterias and Archaea. 
  2. Budding - In budding, organisms reproduce by having new individuals split off from existing ones, which results in genetically identical parent and daughter organisms. For example a single cell yeast or multicellular Hydra.
  3. Fragmentation - In fragmentation, a body breaks into several fragments, which later develop into complete organisms. For example, starfish 
  4. Vegetative Propagation - Vegetative reproduction is any form of asexual reproduction occurring in plants in which a new plant grows from a fragment of the parent plant or a specialized reproductive structure.
