This process does&nbsp;<strong>not involve gametes<\/strong>&nbsp;(sperm or egg cells), nor does it require fertilization. Instead, the parent organism duplicates its genetic material and divides or grows to form new organisms\u2014essentially clones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Examples of Asexual Reproduction<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Asexual reproduction occurs in both unicellular and multicellular organisms. Here are some common examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Plants<\/strong>\u00a0such as\u00a0<strong>potatoes<\/strong>\u00a0reproduce through\u00a0<strong>tubers<\/strong>, while\u00a0<strong>strawberries<\/strong>\u00a0spread using\u00a0<strong>runners<\/strong>\u00a0(also called stolons).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bacteria<\/strong>\u00a0reproduce via\u00a0<strong>binary fission<\/strong>, splitting into two identical cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Yeast<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Hydra<\/strong>\u00a0reproduce through\u00a0<strong>budding<\/strong>, where a new organism grows from a part of the parent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Starfish<\/strong>\u00a0can regenerate from body fragments\u2014a process called\u00a0<strong>fragmentation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udcd8&nbsp;<strong>Want to dive deeper into the world of starfish?<\/strong><br>Check out our NGSS-aligned reading passages designed
