(a) Vegetative propagation: When vegetative parts of a plant like stems, leaves and
root etc., give rise to new ones, it is called vegetative propagation.
(b) Fragmentation: In this process, body of the organism breaks up into two parts.
Then each part grows into a new filament thus forming two organisms from a single
one.
(c) Spore Formation: The spores are tiny spherical unicellular structures protected by
thick wall. The spores are stored in a hard outer covering and this is called
sporangium. Under favourable conditions the hard cover breaks and spores spread for
germination.
(d) Budding: In yeast, new organisms are produced by the bud formation from the
parent organism. After growing to full size, the bud gets detached and forms a new
independent individual.
