  2. Fission (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fission_(biology)

    Transverse: Here cytokinesis takes place along the transverse axis. e.g. in ciliate protozoans like Paramecium. Oblique: In this type of binary fission, cytokinesis occurs obliquely. Example Ceratium. Binary fission means "division into two". It is the simplest and most common method of asexual reproduction.

  3. Strobilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strobilation

    Strobilation or transverse fission is a form of asexual reproduction consisting of the spontaneous transverse segmentation of the body. It is observed in certain cnidarians and helminths . This mode of reproduction is characterized by high offspring output, which, in the case of the parasitic tapeworms, is of great significance.

  4. Fragmentation (reproduction) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragmentation_(reproduction)

    Some cacti and other plants have jointed stems. When a stem segment, called a pad, falls off, it can root and form a new plant. Leaves of some plants readily root when they fall off, e.g. Sedum and Echeveria. Fragmentation is observed in nonvascular plants as well, for example, in liverworts and mosses. Small pieces of moss "stems" or "leaves ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexual_reproduction

    Examples of vegetative reproduction include the formation of miniaturized plants called plantlets on specialized leaves, for example in kalanchoe (Bryophyllum daigremontianum) and many produce new plants from rhizomes or stolon (for example in strawberry). Some plants reproduce by forming bulbs or tubers, for example tulip bulbs and Dahlia ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaculture_of_sea_cucumbers

    Two sea cucumber species Thelenota ananas (prickly redfish) and Stichopus chloronotus (greenfish) have been found capable of asexual propagation through transverse fission, [7] the process whereby an organism is cut in half and completely regenerates the missing half. Rubber bands are placed around the middle of the sea cucumbers which induces ...

  8. Autogamy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autogamy

    About 10–15% of flowering plants are predominantly self-fertilizing. [9] Self-pollination is an example of autogamy that occurs in flowering plants. Self-pollination occurs when the sperm in the pollen from the stamen of a plant goes to the carpels of that same plant and fertilizes the egg cell

  9. Cell division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_division

    In animals the cytokinesis ends with formation of a contractile ring and thereafter a cleavage. But in plants it happen differently. At first a cell plate is formed and then a cell wall develops between the two daughter cells. [36] In Fission yeast the cytokinesis happens in G1 phase. [37]
