Reproduction is the process of producing a fertile offspring of its own kind.
Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction where offspring is produced by a single parent without the requirement of gamete formation and fertilization.
Fragmentation is a type of asexual reproduction where the body of the organism breaks into pieces and each piece gives rise to whole new organism.
In certain organisms, small buds are produced attached to the parent organism which grow and eventually separate to develop into new organism.
In unfavourable condition organism like amoeba secretes a three-layered hard covering around itself and this phenomenon is called as encystation. During favourable condition the encysted organism multiplies by multiple fission.
Certain organism reproduces by formation of small-seed like structures called spore which develops into new individual under favourable condition. Such phenomenon is called sporulation. Many bacteria follow this process.
