Budding
A form of asexual reproduction in fungi, plants, and animals. It is when a bud (or protrusion), forms on an organism and eventually breaks off to form a new organism that is small than its parent

Parthenogenesis
A form of asexual reproduction in which the female produces eggs that are not fertilized by males by divide by mitosis and develop into new individuals
Sexual Reproduction
A form of reproducing in which organisms reproduce by combining a complete set of genetic information from two individuals to make a new genetically unique individuals
