often confused with
autosexual reproduction
in asexual reproduction only one organism, which is neither male nor feamale, is involved. the organism reproduces either by
1. fission, litterally
spliting itself in half to create two organisms. (imagine having yourself ripped in half, and then each half growing back the
half it is missing)
or
2. budding, where the new organism starts of as a growth on the side of the original organism. (like having a little man grow out of you're ass cheek, a little man that is exactly like you)
Yeast cells use asexual reproduction. (specifically the second form,
budding)
Single celled
organisms often use asexual reproduction (
fission).
