Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction where only one parent is needed to make a new organism.
In this process, the new organism (offspring) is an exact copy of the parent — it has the same genes. Examples:
Bacteria reproduce by splitting into two (called binary fission).
Plants like money plants or potatoes can grow from cuttings or tubers.
Hydra and yeast reproduce by budding.
Summary
Reproduction: Making new living things. Only living things can do it.
Asexual reproduction: One parent makes a new living thing. The new one is exactly like the parent. Example: Hydra, bacteria, plant cuttings.
Hydra: Tiny freshwater animal that can reproduce by budding.
Seed dispersal: Seeds move from the parent plant to a new place. This can happen by wind, water, animals, or bursting.
Animals help seeds: They eat the fruit but leave the hard seed to grow a new plant.
