Term | Definition |
Asexual Reproduction | reproduction without the fusion of gametes |
binary fission | In biology, fission is the subdivision of a cell into two or more parts and the regeneration of those parts into separate cells. |
budding | having or developing buds. |
cancer | the disease caused by an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in a part of the body. |
cell cyclone | The cell cycle, or cell-division cycle, is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication |
clone | in organism or cell, or group of organisms or cells, produced asexually from one ancestor or stock, to which they are genetically identical. |
cytokinesis | the cytoplasmic division of a cell at the end of mitosis or meiosis, bringing about the separation into two daughter cells. |
fragmentation | the process or state of breaking or being broken into small or separate parts. |
interphase | the resting phase between successive mitotic divisions of a cell, or between the first and second divisions of meiosis. |
mitosis | a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth. |
replication | Microtubules are a component of the cytoskeleton, found throughout the cytoplasm. |
spindle fibres | Microtubules are a component of the cytoskeleton, found throughout the cytoplasm. |
spore | a minute, typically one-celled, reproductive unit capable of giving rise to a new individual without sexual fusion, characteristic of lower plants, fungi, and protozoans. |
stem cell | an undifferentiated cell of a multicellular organism that is capable of giving rise to indefinitely more cells of the same type, and from which certain other kinds of cell arise by differentiation. |
vegetable reproduction | vegetative reproduction is a form of asexual reproduction in plants. It is a process by which new individuals arise without production of seeds or spores. |
