Animals that reproduce asexually include planarians, many annelid worms including polychaetes [17] and some oligochaetes, [17] turbellarians and sea stars. Many fungi and plants reproduce asexually. Many fungi and plants reproduce asexually.
This is because in asexual reproduction a successful genotype can spread quickly without being modified by sex or wasting resources on male offspring who will not give birth. Some species can produce both sexually and through parthenogenesis, and offspring in the same clutch of a species of tropical lizard can be a mix of sexually produced ...
In bdelloid rotifers, females reproduce exclusively by parthenogenesis (obligate parthenogenesis), [5] while in monogonont rotifers, females can alternate between sexual and asexual reproduction (cyclical parthenogenesis). At least in one normally cyclical parthenogenetic species obligate parthenogenesis can be inherited: a recessive allele ...
Parthenogenesis is a mode of asexual reproduction in which offspring are produced by females without the genetic contribution of a male. Among all the sexual vertebrates, the only examples of true parthenogenesis, in which all-female populations reproduce without the involvement of males, are found in squamate reptiles (snakes and lizards).

They have asexual form of reproduction, meaning that these fungi produce their spores asexually, in the process called sporogenesis. There are about 25,000 species that have been classified in the deuteromycota and many are basidiomycota or ascomycota anamorphs .
Polychaetes can reproduce asexually, by dividing into two or more pieces or by budding off a new individual while the parent remains a complete organism. [8] [41] Some oligochaetes, such as Aulophorus furcatus, seem to reproduce entirely asexually, while others reproduce asexually in summer and sexually in autumn. Asexual reproduction in ...
Triclads reproduce sexually and asexually, and different species may be able to reproduce by one or both modes. [5] Planarians are hermaphrodites. In sexual reproduction, the mating generally involves mutual insemination. Thus, one of their gametes will combine with the gamete of another planarian.
