-
apomixis
any of several kinds of reproduction without fertilization
-
blastogenesis
asexual reproduction by budding
-
budding
reproduction of some unicellular organisms (such as yeasts) by growth and specialization followed by the separation by constriction of a part of the parent
-
fission
reproduction of some unicellular organisms by division of the cell into two more or less equal parts
-
fissiparity
reproduction of some multicellular organisms by division, as in the case of some starfish
-
monogenesis, sporulation
asexual reproduction by the production and release of spores
-
parthenogenesis, parthenogeny, virgin birth
human conception without fertilization by a man
-
gemmation, pullulation
asexual reproduction in which a local growth on the surface or in the body of the parent becomes a separate individual
-
apogamy
(botany) development of an embryo without fertilization; especially the development in some ferns of a sporophyte from the gametophyte without fertilization
-
heterospory
the development of both microspores and megaspores
-
homospory
the development of a single kind of asexual spores
-
parthenocarpy
(botany) the development of a fruit without fertilization or seeds
-
parthenogenesis, parthenogeny
process in which an unfertilized egg develops into a new individual; common among insects and some other arthropods
-
schizogony
asexual reproduction by multiple fission; characteristic of many sporozoan protozoans
