The correct answer is fragmentation.
Many fungi, algae and some plants reproduce asexually by producing a reproductive cell. Which process describes this type of asexual reproduction?
binary fission
fragmentation
creating spores
agamogenesis

The correct answer is creating spores.
Which process would lead to offspring with the exact same genetic information as the parent?

A bird laying an egg.
A tree growing from the stump of another tree.
A bacterium splitting in two.

A bacterium splitting in two (binary fission) is the process that would lead to offspring with the exact same genetic information as the parent.
Some flatworms reproduce through fragmentation. What is a disadvantage of this method?
It is a process that does not result in many offspring relative to sexual reproduction.
It is a very slow process relative to sexual reproduction.
It is a process that leads to lower genetic diversity than sexual reproduction.
It is a much more complex process than sexual reproduction.
