Budding produces offspring
genetically identical to its parent.

Animal regeneration occurs when an offspring
grows from a piece of its parent.

Types of asexual reproduction

Vegetative reproduction is a form of asexual
reproduction in which offspring grow from a part
of a parent plant.

Vegetative reproduction usually involves
structures such as the roots, the stems, and the
leaves of plants.

Some plants can
be cloned using
a method called
tissue culture.
