There are 6 main types of asexual reproduction: binary fission, budding, spore formation, fragmentation, regeneration, and vegetative propagation. Binary fission involves an organism growing and dividing its genetic material into two new organisms. Budding occurs when a new organism forms from an outgrowth of the parent. Spore formation involves forming single-celled reproductive units. Fragmentation involves a new organism growing from a fragment of the parent. Regeneration occurs when a detached body part grows into a new individual. Vegetative propagation uses plant parts like stems and leaves to create new plants without reproductive parts.
